22 § 3. Compensation for certain state officers and employees. 1. The
23 provisions of this section, except subdivision 10 of this section, shall
24 apply to the following full-time state officers and employees. The
25 provisions of subdivision 10 shall apply only to those individuals spec-
26 ified therein.
27 (a) officers and employees whose positions are designated managerial
28 or confidential pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law;
29 (b) civilian state employees of the division of military and naval
30 affairs in the executive department whose positions are not in, or are
31 excluded from representation rights in, any recognized or certified
32 negotiating unit;
33 (c) officers and employees excluded from representation rights under
34 article 14 of the civil service law pursuant to rules or regulations of
35 the public employment relations board;
36 (d) officers and employees whose salaries are prescribed by section 19
37 of the correction law;
38 (e) officers and employees whose salaries are provided for by para-
39 graph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 215 of the executive law.
40 2. For such officers and employees the following increases shall
41 apply:
42 (a) Effective July 1, 2015, the basic annual salary of officers and
43 employees to whom the provisions of this subdivision apply shall be
44 increased by two percent adjusted to the nearest whole dollar amount.
45 (b) Effective April 1, 2016, the basic annual salary of officers and
46 employees to whom the provisions of this subdivision apply shall be
47 increased by two percent adjusted to the nearest whole dollar amount.
48 (c) Effective April 1, 2017, the basic annual salary of officers and

52 employees to whom the provisions of this subdivision apply shall be
53 increased by one percent adjusted to the nearest whole dollar amount.
54 3. If an unencumbered position is one that, if encumbered, would be
55 subject to the provisions of this section, the salary of such position
56 shall be increased by the salary increase amounts specified in this
S. 2005--B 18 A. 3005--B
1 section. If a position is created and is filled by the appointment of an
2 officer or employee who is subject to the provisions of this section,
3 the salary otherwise provided for such position shall be increased in
4 the same manner as though such position had been in existence but unen-
5 cumbered.
6 4. The increases in salary pursuant to this section shall apply on a
7 prorated basis in accordance with guidelines issued by the director of
8 the budget to officers and employees otherwise eligible to receive an
9 increase in salary pursuant to this act who are paid on an hourly or per
10 diem basis, employees serving on a part-time or seasonal basis, and
11 employees paid on any basis other than at an annual salary rate.
12 5. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section,
13 the provisions of this section shall not apply to the following except

17 60, or 169 of the executive law;
18 (c) officers or employees in collective negotiating units established
19 pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law.
20 (d) those officers or employees in subdivision 1 of this section who,
21 upon promotion or appointment to a position covered by this act that is
22 designated managerial or confidential, or one otherwise excluded from
23 representation under article 14 of the civil service law, were in a
24 position or are newly appointed to a position in a collective negotiat-
25 ing unit established pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law and
26 whose salary, immediately prior to implementation of the applicable
27 salary schedule in accordance with the respective effective dates
28 provided in section one of this act, is at or above the job rate of
29 their respective salary grade or equated salary grade of the salary
30 schedule that would be implemented on the respective effective dates
31 pursuant to section one of this act. Notwithstanding the preceding, an
32 officer's or employee's salary shall be increased, in whole or in part,
33 by the salary increases provided by this act, where such increase causes
34 that officer's or employee's salary to be equal to the job rate of the
35 respective salary grade or equated salary grade of the salary schedule
36 that would be implemented on the respective effective dates provided
37 pursuant to section one of this act; however, in no event shall the
38 salary increases provided by this act cause an officer's or employee's
39 salary to exceed the job rate of the applicable salary schedule. Any
40 officer or employee who does not receive a parity increase or who
41 receives a partial parity increase pursuant to this subdivision shall be
42 advised in writing by their employing state agency two weeks prior to
43 the respective pay check dates implementing the applicable salary sched-
44 ules in accordance with the respective effective dates provided in
45 section one of this act. The formal grievance process provided in the
46 Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New
47 York, Title 9, Part 560, "Submission and Settlement of Grievances of
48 State Employees," shall commence on the respective pay check dates
49 implementing the applicable salary schedules in accordance with section
50 one of this act.
51 6. Officers and employees to whom the provisions of this section apply
52 who are incumbents of positions that are not allocated to salary grades
53 specified in paragraph d of subdivision 1 of section 130 of the civil
54 service law and whose salary is not prescribed in any other statute
55 shall receive the salary increases specified in subdivision two of this
56 section.
S. 2005--B 19 A. 3005--B
1 7. In order to provide performance advancements, merit awards, longev-
2 ity payments, in lieu payments and special achievement awards for the
3 officers and employees to whom this section applies who are not allo-
4 cated to salary grades in proportion to those provided to persons to
5 whom this section applies who are allocated to salary grades, the direc-
6 tor of the budget is authorized to add appropriate adjustments to the
7 compensation that such officers and employees are otherwise entitled to
8 receive. The director of the budget shall amend each agency's personal
9 service certificate to reflect the increases made pursuant to the
10 provisions of this subdivision, and the updated certificate will contin-
11 ue to be available to the state comptroller, the department of civil
12 service, the chairman of the senate finance committee and the chairman
13 of the assembly ways and means committee.
14 8. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section,
15 any increase in compensation for any officer or employee appointed to a
16 lower graded position from a redeployment list pursuant to subdivision 1
17 of section 79 of the civil service law who continues to receive his or
18 her former salary pursuant to such subdivision shall be determined on
19 the basis of such lower graded position provided, however, that the
20 increases in salary provided in subdivision two of this section shall
21 not cause such officer's or employee's salary to exceed the job rate of
22 any such lower graded position at salary grade.
23 9. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section or
24 of any law to the contrary, the director of the budget may reduce the
25 salary of any position which is vacant or which becomes vacant, so long
26 as the position, if encumbered, would be subject to the provisions of
27 this section. The director of the budget does not need to provide a
28 reason for such reduction.
29 10. Compensation for certain state employees in the state university
30 and certain employees of contract colleges at Cornell and Alfred univer-
31 sities.
32 (a) Effective July 1, 2015, April 1, 2016, April 1, 2017 and April 1,

34 sional service in the state university that are designated, stipulated,
35 or excluded from negotiating units as managerial or confidential as
36 defined pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law, may be
37 increased pursuant to plans approved by the state university trustees.
38 Such increases in basic annual salary rates shall not exceed in the
39 aggregate two percent of the total basic annual salary rates in effect
40 on June 30, 2015, two percent of the total basic annual salary rates in
41 effect on March 31, 2016, two percent of the total basic annual salary
42 rates in effect on March 31, 2017 and one percent of the total basic
43 annual salary rates in effect on March 31, 2018.
44 (b) Effective July 1, 2015, April 1, 2016, April 1, 2017 and April 1,
45 2018, the basic annual salary of incumbents of positions in the insti-
46 tutions under the management and control of Cornell and Alfred universi-
47 ties as representatives of the board of trustees of the state university
48 that, in the opinion of the director of employee relations, would be
49 designated managerial or confidential were they subject to article 14 of
50 the civil service law may be increased pursuant to plans approved by the
51 state university trustees. Such increases in basic annual salary rates
52 shall not exceed in the aggregate two percent of the total basic annual
53 salary rates in effect on June 30, 2015, two percent of the total basic
54 annual salary rates in effect on March 31, 2016, two percent of the
55 total basic annual salary rates in effect on March 31, 2017 and one
S. 2005--B 20 A. 3005--B
1 percent of the total basic annual salary rates in effect on March 31,
2 2018.
3 (c) During the period July 1, 2015 through March 31, 2019, the basic
4 annual salary of incumbents of positions in the non-professional service
5 that, in the opinion of the director of employee relations, would be
6 designated managerial or confidential were they subject to article 14 of
7 the civil service law, except those positions in the Cornell service and
8 maintenance unit that are subject to the terms of a collective bargain-
9 ing agreement between Cornell university and the employee organization
10 representing employees in such positions and except those positions in
11 the Alfred service and maintenance unit that are subject to the terms of
12 a collective bargaining agreement between Alfred university and the
13 employee organization representing employees in such positions, in
14 institutions under the management and control of Cornell and Alfred
15 universities as representatives of the board of trustees of the state
16 university may be increased pursuant to plans approved by the state
17 university trustees. Such plans may include new salary schedules which
18 shall supersede the salary schedules then in effect applicable to such
19 employees. Such plans shall provide for increases in basic annual sala-
20 ries, which, exclusive of performance advancement payments or merit
21 recognition payments, shall not exceed in the aggregate two percent of
22 the total basic annual salary rates in effect on June 30, 2015, two
23 percent of the total basic annual salary rates in effect on March 31,
24 2016, two percent of the total basic annual salary rates in effect on
25 March 31, 2017 and one percent of the total basic annual salary rates in
26 effect on March 31, 2018.
27 (d) For the purposes of this subdivision, the basic annual salary of
28 an employee is that salary that is obtained through direct appropriation
29 of state moneys for the purpose of paying wages. Nothing in this part
30 shall prevent increasing amounts paid to incumbents of such positions in
31 the professional service in addition to the basic annual salary,
32 provided, however, that the amounts required for such increase and the
33 cost of fringe benefits attributable to such increase, as determined by
34 the comptroller, are made available to the state in accordance with the
35 procedures established by the state university, with the approval of the
36 director of the budget, for such purposes.
37 (e) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section or
38 any law to the contrary, any increase in compensation may be withheld in
39 whole or in part from any employee to whom the provisions of this
40 section apply pursuant to section seven of this act.
41 § 4. Use of appropriations. The comptroller is authorized to pay any
42 amounts required during the fiscal year commencing April 1, 2015 by the
43 foregoing provisions of this act for any state department or agency from
44 any appropriation or other funds available to such state department or
45 agency for personal service or for other related employee benefits
46 during such fiscal year. To the extent that such appropriations in any
47 fund, or combinations of funds, are insufficient to accomplish the
48 purposes herein set forth, the director of the budget is authorized to
49 allocate to any department and agency funds, from any appropriations
50 available in any other department's or agency's fund or funds, the
51 amounts necessary to pay such amounts.
52 § 5. Effect of participation in special annuity program. No officer or
53 employee participating in a special annuity program pursuant to the
54 provision of article 8-C of the education law shall, by reason of an
55 increase in compensation pursuant to this act, suffer any reduction of
56 the salary adjustment to which that employee would otherwise be entitled
S. 2005--B 21 A. 3005--B
1 by reason of participation in such program, and such salary adjustment
2 shall be based upon the salary of such officer or employee without
3 regard to the reduction authorized by such article.
4 § 6. Date of entitlement to salary increase. Notwithstanding the
5 provisions of this act or of any other law, the increase in salary or
6 compensation of any officer or employee provided by this act shall be
7 added to the salary or compensation of such officer or employee at the
8 beginning of that payroll period the first day of which is nearest to
9 the effective date of such increase as provided in this act, or at the
10 beginning of the earlier of two payroll periods the first days of which
11 are nearest but equally near to the effective date of such increase as
12 provided in this act, provided, however, that for the purposes of deter-
13 mining the salary of such officer or employee upon reclassification,
14 reallocation, appointment, promotion, transfer, demotion, reinstatement
15 or other change of status, such salary increase shall be deemed to be
16 effective on the date thereof as prescribed in this act, and the payment
17 thereof pursuant to this section on a date prior thereto, instead of on
18 such effective date, shall not operate to confer any additional salary
19 rights or benefits on such officer or employee.
20 § 7. 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other section of this
21 act or any other provision of law to the contrary, any increase in
22 compensation, provided: (a) in this act, or (b) as a result of a
23 promotion, appointment, or advancement to a position in a higher salary
24 grade, or (c) pursuant to paragraph (c) of subdivision 6 of section 131
25 of the civil service law, or (d) pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivi-
26 sion 8 of section 130 of the civil service law, or (e) pursuant to para-
27 graph (a) of subdivision 3 of section 13 of chapter 732 of the laws of
28 1988, as amended, may be withheld in whole or in part from any officer
29 or employee when, in the opinion of the director of the budget, such
30 withholding is necessary to reflect the job performance of such officer
31 or employee, or to maintain appropriate salary relationships among offi-
32 cers or employees of the state, or to reduce state expenditures to
33 acceptable levels or when, in the opinion of the director of the budget,
34 such increase is not warranted or is not appropriate. The exclusion
35 contained in paragraph (d) of subdivision five of section three of this
36 act shall not apply where the Director of the Budget determines that an
37 employee's salary does not properly reflect the effect of the three
38 percent general salary increase effective April 1, 2009 or the four
39 percent general salary increase effective April 1, 2010 and exclusion of
40 such increase would result in an inequity as compared to similarly situ-
41 ated employees.
42 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other section of this act the
43 salary increases provided for in this act shall not be implemented until
44 the director of the budget delivers notice to the comptroller that such
45 amounts may be paid.
46 § 8. This act shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
47 have been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2015.
