ble by the state and all such benefits shall be paid by the responsible
parties to such agreements or contracts pursuant to the terms and condi-
tions of such agreements or contracts. The employee organization shall be
a fiduciary with respect to the employee benefit fund established pursu-
ant to this section.

provisions of any other law, general or special, the provisions of this
section shall be controlling.

service law, as added by section one of this act, to take effect on the

The increases in basic annual salary provided by this subdivision shall
be in lieu of any increase in basic annual salary provided for in subdi-
visions two, three, four and five of this section.

subject to the provisions of this section, the salary of such position
shall be increased by the salary increase amounts specified in this
section. If a position is created and is filled by the appointment of
such unit members to whom the provisions of this section apply, the sala-
ry otherwise provided for such position shall be increased in the same

Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the director of the budg-
et may reduce the salary of any such position, which is or becomes
vacant.
10. The increases in salary payable pursuant to this section shall

advancements and payments in proportion to those provided to persons to
whom this section applies who are allocated to salary grades, the direc-
tor of the budget is authorized to add appropriate adjustments to the
compensation which such officers and employees are otherwise entitled to
receive. The director of the budget shall issue certificates which shall
contain schedules of positions and the salaries thereof for which adjust-
ments are made pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision, and a copy
of each such certificate shall be filed with the state comptroller, the

and the chairman of the assembly ways and means committee.

tor of employee relations, such increase is not warranted or is not
appropriate.
§ 4. Additional compensation for certain members of the agency police
services collective negotiating unit. 1. In recognition of the general
requirement for full-time employees of the state in the agency police
services unit to assemble for briefing prior to the commencement of

ant to subdivision 5 of section 134 of the civil service law, shall

maintenance, and the handling of phone calls and home visitations
received and instigated outside of the regular workday. This payment
supplants any payments made to such employees for equipment storage.
There shall be no payment of pre-shift briefing for any day in which any
employee who is a member of the agency police services unit, full-time
annual salaried and a police officer pursuant to subdivision 34 of
section 1.20 of the criminal procedure law is not physically reporting to
work. There shall be no change in the payment for pre-shift briefing for

of computation of overtime pay, provided, however, that such additional
compensation shall be included for retirement purposes. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this section or of any other law, such addi-
tional compensation as added by this section shall be in lieu of the
continuation of any other additional compensation for such unit members
in recognition of pre-shift briefing.

of an agreement covering members of the agency police services collective
negotiating unit who are full-time annual salaried and are classified as
investigators or detectives, in recognition of the general requirement
for such unit members to whom the provisions of this section apply to
wear professional attire, each such employee who is on the payroll on the
first day of November preceding the annual effective date shall continue
to receive a clothing allowance at a rate of four hundred dollars per
year effective December 1, 2011.

ees and whose principal place of employment, or, in the case of a field

regulations of the state comptroller, is located in the city of New York,
or in the county of Rockland, Westchester, Nassau, or Suffolk shall
continue to receive location pay in the amount of one thousand five
hundred twenty dollars.
2. The location pay as set out in this section shall be in addition to
and shall not be a part of an employee's basic annual salary, and shall
not affect or impair any performance advance or other rights or benefits
to which an employee may be entitled by law, provided, however, that
location pay shall be included as compensation for the purposes of compu-
S. 5178 9
tation of overtime pay and for retirement purposes. This payment will be
equally divided over the twenty-six payroll periods in each fiscal year.

ment covering members of the agency police services collective negotiat-
ing unit, and notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, all

payment referenced herein. The first payment shall be paid as soon as
practicable after the passage of legislation implementing a Final Deci-
sion and Award covering the period April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2019 and
the second payment shall be paid on the first day of the payroll period
commencing after April 1, 2021. For the purpose of calculating retirement
S. 5178 12
benefits, the amounts paid under this act shall count as compensation
earned during the year or years for which it is calculated and not as
compensation earned wholly in the year in which it is paid. Notwith-
standing any law, rule or regulation to the contrary, no member of the
agency police services unit to whom the provisions of this act apply
shall be entitled to, or owed, any interest or other penalty for any
reason on any monies due to such member pursuant to the terms of this act

employees in the agency police services unit.

troller, the chair of the senate finance committee and the chair of the
