   § 4. Subdivision 1 of section 134 of the civil service law, as amended
 by chapter 165 of the laws of 2017, is amended to read as follows:
   1.  For  all  state  officers  and  employees, other than officers and
 employees of the legislature and the judiciary and other than those  who
 shall  be  excluded  pursuant  to  the  rules  and regulations hereafter
 mentioned, the workweek for basic annual salary shall not be  more  than
 forty-hours;  and,  notwithstanding  any inconsistent provisions of law,
 and subject to the rules and regulations promulgated by the director  of
 the  budget,  any  such  state officer and employee who is authorized or
 required to work more than forty hours in any week in [his] THEIR  regu-
 lar  position  or title or in a position the title of which is allocated
 to the same salary grade as [his] THEIR regular position, shall  receive
 overtime  compensation  for  the hours worked in excess of forty in each
 week at one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay received  by  such
 employee  in  [his]  THEIR  regular position; provided, however, that an
 employee not subject to the overtime provisions  of  the  federal  "Fair
 Labor Standards Act of 1938" as amended by the federal "Fair Labor Stan-
 dards  Amendments  of  1966",  being  public  law six hundred one of the
 eighty-ninth congress,  as  approved  September  twenty-three,  nineteen
 hundred  sixty-six,  and  all  acts amendatory thereof and supplementary
 thereto, may by written agreement  with  [his]  THEIR  proper  authority
 exchange  hours  of  work with other employees doing similar work in the
 same state institution or other state governmental unit without overtime
 compensation. Upon the approval of the director of the budget  a  member
 A. 7424                             5
 
 of the state police may be considered to have worked, for the purpose of
 determining  overtime  compensation  pursuant  to the provisions of this
 section, a minimum of four hours each time [he is] THEY ARE recalled  to
 work  overtime  after  completing  [his] THEIR scheduled work period and
 leaving [his] THEIR scheduled work station or may be considered to  have
 worked  a  minimum  of two hours each time [he is] THEY ARE scheduled to
 return and returns to duty to work overtime for the purpose of making an
 appearance in court after completing  [his]  THEIR  regularly  scheduled
 work  period  and  leaving [his] THEIR regularly scheduled work station.
 Upon the approval of the director of  the  budget  an  employee  may  be
 considered  to  have  worked,  for  the  purpose of determining overtime
 compensation pursuant to the provisions of this section,  a  minimum  of
 one-half  day each time [he is] THEY ARE recalled to work overtime after
 completing [his] THEIR scheduled work period  and  leaving  [his]  THEIR
 scheduled work station; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of
 an  agreement  negotiated between the state and an employee organization
 pursuant to article fourteen of  the  civil  service  law,  an  employee
 recalled to work may be considered to have worked less than a minimum of
 one-half  day  and  an employee recalled to work more than once during a
 period of one-half day commencing with the onset of the  initial  recall
 will not be entitled to more than one-half day of overtime credit unless
 more  than  one-half day is actually worked. When an employee shall work
 overtime in a position which has a title which is allocated to  a  lower
 salary  grade  than  the  salary grade to which the title of [his] THEIR
 regular position is allocated, [he] THEY shall receive overtime  compen-
 sation  at  one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay of the maximum
 salary of the grade of the position in which [he] THEY shall work  over-
 time,  or  such  maximum  salary plus the additional increment or incre-
 ments, if [he] THEY would be entitled to such  additional  increment  or
 increments  were  [he]  THEY  then appointed to such position; provided,
 however, that when such hourly rate  exceeds  the  hourly  rate  of  pay
 received  by [him] THEM in [his] THEIR regular position, [he] THEY shall
 receive one and one-half times the hourly rate of  [his]  THEIR  regular
 position.  When  an employee works overtime in a position allocated to a
 salary grade higher than the salary grade to which [his]  THEIR  regular
 position  is allocated, [he] THEY shall receive overtime compensation at
 one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay of  the  rate  of  compen-
 sation  to  which  he  would  be  entitled if [he] THEY were permanently
 promoted to the position in  which  such  overtime  work  is  performed.
 Notwithstanding  any  other provision of law, where an agreement between
 the state and an employee organization entered into pursuant to  article
 fourteen of this chapter [on behalf of officers and employees serving in
 positions  in  the  institutional  services  unit] so provides THAT such
 officers and employees COVERED BY SUCH AGREEMENT shall receive  overtime
 compensation  at  a rate of two times the hourly rate of pay received by
 such employee in [his] THEIR regular position for  such  hours  of  work
 that qualify for such payment under the terms of such agreement.

 negotiating  unit consisting of troopers in the division of state police
 provided by this act shall be added to the  salary  or  compensation  of
 such  member  at  the  beginning of that payroll period the first day of

 demotion, reinstatement, or other change of status, such salary increase
 shall  be  deemed  to  be effective on the date thereof as prescribed by

 for.    Such  lump sum payment shall be made as soon as practicable. Any
 amount payable in such lump sum paid represents compensation  earned  in
 each  of  the  year or years for which it is calculated pursuant to this
 act and not as compensation earned wholly in the year during  which  the
 lump  sum  is paid.   Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the
 contrary, no member of the unit  consisting  of  troopers  to  whom  the

 or  other penalty for any reason on any monies due to such member pursu-

   § 18. Date of entitlement  to  salary  increase.  Notwithstanding  the
 provisions of this act or of any other provision of law to the contrary,
 the  increase  in salary or compensation of any member of the collective
 negotiating unit consisting of commissioned and  non-commissioned  offi-
 cers in the division of state police provided by this act shall be added
 to the salary of such member at the beginning of that payroll period the
 first  day of which is nearest to the effective date of such increase as
 provided in this act, or at the beginning of the earlier of two  payroll
 periods  the  first  days  of  which are nearest but equally near to the
 effective date of such increase  as  provided  in  this  act;  provided,
 however,  that, for the purposes of determining the salary of such offi-
 cer  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 by this act, with payment thereof pursuant to this section

   §  19.  Deferred  payment  of  salary  increase.  Notwithstanding  the

 incumbents shall receive, as partial compensation for services rendered,
 the  rate  of  compensation  otherwise payable in their respective posi-
 tions. An incumbent holding a position subject to this act at  any  time
 during  the  period  from  the  effective  dates of the salary increases
 provided for in this act until the time when basic annual  salaries  are
 first  paid  pursuant  to  this  act  for such services in excess of the
 compensation actually received therefor, shall be entitled to a lump sum
 payment for the difference between the salary to which such incumbent is
 entitled for such service and the compensation actually received  there-
 for.    Such  lump sum payment shall be made as soon as practicable. Any
 amount payable in such lump sum paid represents compensation  earned  in
 each  of  the  year or years for which it is calculated pursuant to this
 act and not as compensation earned wholly in the year during  which  the
 lump  sum  is paid.   Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the
 contrary, no member of the unit consisting of commissioned and  non-com-
