A. 11534 8
this section in proportion to those provided to persons to whom this
section applies who are allocated to salary grades, the director of the

the compensation which such officers and employees are otherwise enti-
tled 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

this section. The director of the budget does not need to provide a
reason for such reduction.
15. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section or
of any law to the contrary, any increase in compensation may be withheld

agreement between Cornell University and the employee organization
representing employees in such positions and except those positions in
the Alfred service and maintenance unit which are subject to the terms
of a collective bargaining agreement between Alfred University and the
employee organization representing employees in such positions, in
institutions under the management and control of Cornell and Alfred
universities as representatives of the board of trustees of the state

tions in the nonprofessional service in addition to the basic annual

payment, and the cost of fringe benefits attributable to such payment,
as determined by the comptroller, are made available to the state in
accordance with the procedures established by the state university for
such purposes.
3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, any
increase in compensation provided by this section may be withheld in
whole or in part from any officer or employee when, in the opinion of
the director of the budget, such withholding is necessary to reflect the
job performance of such officer or employee, or to maintain appropriate
salary relationships among officers or employees of the state, or to
reduce state expenditures to acceptable levels, or when such increase is
not warranted or is not appropriate for any reason and the salary of
such officer or employee is set at the discretion of the appointing
authority.

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

beginning of the earlier of two payroll periods the first days of which
are nearest but equally near to the effective dates of such increases as
provided in this act, provided, however, that for the purposes of deter-
mining the salary of such officer or employee upon reclassification,
reallocation, appointment, promotion, transfer, demotion, reinstatement
or other change of status, such salary increase shall be deemed to be
effective on the date thereof as prescribed in this act, and the payment

graph (a) of subdivision 3 of section 13 of chapter 732 of the laws of
1988, as amended, may be withheld in whole or in part from any officer
or employee when, in the opinion of the director of the budget, such
withholding is necessary to reflect the job performance of such officer
or employee, or to maintain appropriate salary relationships among offi-
cers or employees of the state, or to reduce state expenditures to
acceptable levels or when, in the opinion of the director of the budget,
such increase is not warranted or is not appropriate. As a result of an
exercise of the director's authority under this act to withhold any
increase, such salary schedules as defined in section one of this act
shall be implemented and/or modified by the director of the budget, as
necessary, consistent with the provision or withholding of such
increases pursuant to this section.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other section of this act,

any state department or agency from any appropriation or other funds
available to such state department or agency for personal service or for
other related employee benefits during such fiscal year. To the extent
that such appropriations are insufficient in any fund to accomplish the
purposes herein set forth, the director of the budget is authorized to
allocate to the various departments and agencies, from any appropriate
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, 2026 in addition
to current liabilities.
§ 16. Notwithstanding any provision of the state finance law or any
other provision of law to the contrary, the sum of $112,000,000 is here-
by appropriated in the general fund/state purposes account (10050) in
miscellaneous-all state departments and agencies solely for
apportionment/transfer by the director of the budget for use by any
state department or agency in any fund for the state fiscal year April
1, 2026 through March 31, 2027 to supplement appropriations for personal
service, other than personal service and fringe benefits, and to carry
out the provisions of this act. No money shall be available for expendi-
ture from this appropriation until a certificate of approval has been
issued by the director of the budget and a copy of such certificate or
any amendment thereto has been filed with the state comptroller, the
chair of the senate finance committee and the chair of the assembly ways
and means committee. The monies hereby appropriated are available for
payment of any liabilities or obligations incurred prior to or during
the state fiscal year April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027. For this
purpose, the monies appropriated shall remain in full force and effect
