the right to assign fixed salaries, not exceeding the maximum specified
through the operation of this section, to appointees in special cases,
to vote larger increments in special cases, when in its judgment the
nature of the duties or the character of the services renders such
action just, or to withhold an annual increment from any member of the
staff whose services for the preceding year are unsatisfactory.

operation of this section, the specified salary of an incumbent shall be
fixed at the minimum rate, or the maximum rate, or between, by

training and experience of the incumbent.

establishing of salary schedules by the board of trustees with the
consent of the director of the budget of the state of New York with
respect to senior colleges, and with the consent of the mayor with
respect to community colleges, with maxima higher than those contained
in the minimum schedules provided through the operation of this section,
and the payment by the state or the city, as appropriate, of
compensations and salaries fixed in accordance with such new schedule.
