tor of the budget is authorized to add appropriate adjustments and/or
payments to the compensation which such officers and employees are
S. 7576 6
otherwise entitled to receive. The director of the budget shall issue
certificates which shall contain schedules of positions and the salaries
and/or payments thereof for which adjustments and/or payments are made
pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision, and a copy of each such
certificate shall be filed with the state comptroller, the department of

tion provided, however, that the increase in salary provided in this
section shall not cause such officer's or employee's salary to exceed
the job rate of such lower graded position.
12. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section or any law to
the contrary, any increase in compensation may be withheld in whole or
in part from any employee to whom the provisions of this section are
applicable when, in the opinion of the director of the budget and the
director of employee relations, such increase is not warranted or is not
appropriate for any reason.
13. Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the contrary, offi-
cers and employees to whom the provisions of this section apply shall
receive performance awards in accordance with the terms of a collective-
ly negotiated agreement between the state and the employee organization

accordance with the rules and regulations issued by the director of the
budget to implement payment of such negotiated performance awards.
§ 4. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when, in the profes-
sional, scientific and technical services unit, a determination has been
implemented to increase the hiring rate of a position in accordance with
subdivision 4 of section 130 of the civil service law, incumbents of
such positions who are employed in any state department, state institu-
tion or other state agency, in the particular area or areas or location
or locations affected, who did not receive the benefit of the new hiring
salary or have their salaries brought up to such new hiring salary may
receive increased compensation as determined by an agreement between the
office of employee relations and the employee organization representing
such unit.
§ 5. For employees in the professional, scientific and technical
services unit, a one-time $3,000 signing bonus will be paid to all
eligible members of the unit. This signing bonus is not part of basic
annual salary. Similarly, the signing bonus is not subject to any salary
increases and is not pensionable. The signing bonus shall be pro-rated
for those employees paid on any basis other than an annual basis.
Employees paid on a part-time, hourly or per diem basis shall receive a
signing bonus pro-rated on a basis reflecting the actual hours worked

service law. Employees who separate from state service between June 6,

employment. This bonus shall be effective October 12, 2023 for officers
and employees on the administrative payroll and effective October 19,
2023 for officers and employees on the institutional payroll.
§ 6. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, where an agreement
between the state and the employee organization that represents employ-
ees in the professional, scientific and technical services unit so
provides, there shall be paid a higher education differential consistent
with the terms of such agreement.
§ 7. Location compensation for certain state officers and employees.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of law, officers and employ-
ees, including seasonal officers and employees who shall continue to

2025. Such location payments shall be in addition to and shall not be a
part of an officer's or employee's basic annual salary and shall not
affect or impair any performance advancements or other rights or bene-
fits to which an officer or employee may be entitled by law, provided,
however, that location payments shall be included as compensation for
purposes of computation of overtime pay and for retirement purposes.
For the sole purpose of continuing eligibility for location pay in
Monroe county, an officer or employee previously eligible to receive
location pay on March 31, 1985 who is on an approved leave of absence or
participates in an employer program to reduce to part-time service
during summer months shall continue to be eligible for said location pay

allocate to the various departments and agencies, from any appropri-
ations available in any fund, the amounts necessary to pay such amounts.
The aforementioned appropriations shall be available for payment of any
liabilities or obligations incurred prior to April 1, 2023 in addition
to current liabilities.
§ 22. Effect of participation in special annuity program. No officer
or employee participating in a special annuity program pursuant to the
provisions of article 8-C of the education law shall, by reason of an
increase in compensation pursuant to this act, suffer any reduction of
the salary adjustment to which he or she would otherwise be entitled by
reason of participation in such program, and such salary adjustment

as may be necessary, are hereby appropriated from the fund so designated

ees to whom the provisions of this subdivision apply shall be increased

cumbered.

S. 7576 16

service law and whose salary is not prescribed in any other statute
shall receive the salary increases specified in subdivision two of this
section.
7. In order to provide for the officers and employees to whom this
section applies who are not allocated to salary grades, performance
advancements, merit awards, longevity payments and in lieu payments, and
special achievement awards 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 that such officers and employees are otherwise entitled to

this subdivision, and a copy of each such certificate shall be filed

her former salary pursuant to such subdivision shall be determined on

of any law to the contrary, the director of the budget may reduce the

tor of the budget to officers and employees otherwise eligible to

hourly or per diem basis, employees serving on a part-time or seasonal
basis, and employees paid on any basis other than at an annual salary
rate.
4. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section,
any increase in compensation for any officer or employee appointed to a

of section 79 of the civil service law who continues to receive his or
her former salary pursuant to such subdivision shall be determined on
the basis of such lower graded position provided, however, that the

liabilities or obligations incurred prior to April 1, 2023 in addition
to current liabilities.
