31 7. If an unencumbered position is one which if encumbered, would be
32 subject to the provisions of this section, the salary of such position
33 shall be increased by the salary increase amounts specified in this
34 section. If a position is created, and filled by the appointment of an
35 officer or employee who is subject to the provisions of this section,
36 the salary otherwise provided for such position shall be increased in
37 the same manner as though such position had been in existence but unen-
38 cumbered. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the director
39 of the budget may reduce the salary of any such position which is or
40 becomes vacant.
41 8. The increases in salary provided in subdivisions two, three and
42 four of this section shall apply on a pro-rated basis to officers and
43 employees, otherwise eligible to receive an increase in salary, who are
44 paid on an hourly or per diem basis, employees serving on a part-time or
45 seasonal basis, and employees paid on any basis other than at an annual
46 salary rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of subdivi-
47 sions five, six and thirteen of this section shall not apply to employ-
48 ees serving on a per diem or seasonal basis, except as determined by the
49 director of the budget.
50 9. In order to provide for the officers and employees to whom this
51 section applies but are not allocated to salary grades, but are paid on
52 an annual basis, increases and payments pursuant to subdivisions six and
53 thirteen of this section in proportion to those provided to persons to
54 whom this section applies who are allocated to salary grades, the direc-
55 tor of the budget is authorized to add appropriate adjustments and/or
56 payments to the compensation which such officers and employees are
A. 7766 6
1 otherwise entitled to receive. The director of the budget shall issue
2 certificates which shall contain schedules of positions and the salaries
3 and/or payments thereof for which adjustments and/or payments are made
4 pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision, and a copy of each such
5 certificate shall be filed with the state comptroller, the department of
6 civil service, the chair of the senate finance committee and the chair
7 of the assembly ways and means committee.
8 10. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the
9 provisions of this section shall not apply to officers or employees paid
10 on a fee schedule basis, provided however, that the increases in basic
11 annual salary provided for in subdivisions two, three and four of this
12 section shall apply to fire instructors paid on a fee schedule basis
13 employed by the division of homeland security and emergency services.
14 11. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, except subdi-
15 vision one of this section, any increase in compensation for any officer
16 or employee appointed to a lower graded position from a redeployment
17 list pursuant to subdivision 1 of section 79 of the civil service law
18 who continues to receive his or her former salary pursuant to such
19 subdivision shall be determined on the basis of such lower graded posi-
20 tion provided, however, that the increase in salary provided in this
21 section shall not cause such officer's or employee's salary to exceed
22 the job rate of such lower graded position.
23 12. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section or any law to
24 the contrary, any increase in compensation may be withheld in whole or
25 in part from any employee to whom the provisions of this section are
26 applicable when, in the opinion of the director of the budget and the
27 director of employee relations, such increase is not warranted or is not
28 appropriate for any reason.
29 13. Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the contrary, offi-
30 cers and employees to whom the provisions of this section apply shall
31 receive performance awards in accordance with the terms of a collective-
32 ly negotiated agreement between the state and the employee organization
33 representing such employees entered into pursuant to article 14 of the
34 civil service law, effective for the period commencing April 2, 2023, in
35 accordance with the rules and regulations issued by the director of the
36 budget to implement payment of such negotiated performance awards.
37 § 4. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when, in the profes-
38 sional, scientific and technical services unit, a determination has been
39 implemented to increase the hiring rate of a position in accordance with
40 subdivision 4 of section 130 of the civil service law, incumbents of
41 such positions who are employed in any state department, state institu-
42 tion or other state agency, in the particular area or areas or location
43 or locations affected, who did not receive the benefit of the new hiring
44 salary or have their salaries brought up to such new hiring salary may
45 receive increased compensation as determined by an agreement between the
46 office of employee relations and the employee organization representing
47 such unit.
48 § 5. For employees in the professional, scientific and technical
49 services unit, a one-time $3,000 signing bonus will be paid to all
50 eligible members of the unit. This signing bonus is not part of basic
51 annual salary. Similarly, the signing bonus is not subject to any salary
52 increases and is not pensionable. The signing bonus shall be pro-rated
53 for those employees paid on any basis other than an annual basis.
54 Employees paid on a part-time, hourly or per diem basis shall receive a
55 signing bonus pro-rated on a basis reflecting the actual hours worked
56 between June 6, 2023 and October 12, 2023 for officers and employees on
A. 7766 7
1 the administrative payroll or October 19, 2023 for officers and employ-

9 for this signing bonus unless they retire directly from active state
10 employment. This bonus shall be effective October 12, 2023 for officers
11 and employees on the administrative payroll and effective October 19,
12 2023 for officers and employees on the institutional payroll.
13 § 6. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, where an agreement
14 between the state and the employee organization that represents employ-
15 ees in the professional, scientific and technical services unit so
16 provides, there shall be paid a higher education differential consistent
17 with the terms of such agreement.
18 § 7. Location compensation for certain state officers and employees.

24 technical services unit established pursuant to article 14 of the civil
25 service law, whose principal place of employment or, in the case of a
26 field employee, whose official station as determined in accordance with
27 the regulations of the state comptroller, is located: in the county of

38 to $1,650 effective April 1, 2024, and to $2,000 effective April 1,
39 2025. Such location payments shall be in addition to and shall not be a
40 part of an officer's or employee's basic annual salary and shall not
41 affect or impair any performance advancements or other rights or bene-
42 fits to which an officer or employee may be entitled by law, provided,
43 however, that location payments shall be included as compensation for
44 purposes of computation of overtime pay and for retirement purposes.

16 service law and whose salary is not prescribed in any other statute

40 not cause such officer's or employee's salary to exceed the job rate of
41 any such lower graded position at salary grade.
42 9. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section or
43 of any law to the contrary, the director of the budget may reduce the
