   § 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
 S. 7646                             5
 
 compensation.  Upon  the approval of the director of the budget a member
 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.

 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 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
 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 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  by
 this  act, with payment thereof pursuant to this section on a date prior

 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 troopers 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  pursu-
 ant  to  the  terms  of  the  agreement  covering  employees in the unit

 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

 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-
