25 special or administrative funds. The director shall enter into an agree-
26 ment with the employee organization that sets forth the specific terms
27 and conditions for the transmittal of monies pursuant to this section.
28 Payments made pursuant to this paragraph and paragraph a of this subdi-
29 vision shall be made to the same fund as set forth in the agreement

31 employees covered by the provisions of this paragraph and paragraph a of

33 § 4. Subdivision 1 of section 134 of the civil service law, as amended
34 by chapter 165 of the laws of 2017, is amended to read as follows:

36 employees of the legislature and the judiciary and other than those who
37 shall be excluded pursuant to the rules and regulations hereafter
38 mentioned, the workweek for basic annual salary shall not be more than
39 forty-hours; and, notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of law,
40 and subject to the rules and regulations promulgated by the director of
41 the budget, any such state officer and employee who is authorized or
42 required to work more than forty hours in any week in [his] their regu-
43 lar position or title or in a position the title of which is allocated
44 to the same salary grade as [his] their regular position, shall receive
45 overtime compensation for the hours worked in excess of forty in each
46 week at one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay received by such
47 employee in [his] their regular position; provided, however, that an
48 employee not subject to the overtime provisions of the federal "Fair
49 Labor Standards Act of 1938" as amended by the federal "Fair Labor Stan-
50 dards Amendments of 1966", being public law six hundred one of the
51 eighty-ninth congress, as approved September twenty-three, nineteen
52 hundred sixty-six, and all acts amendatory thereof and supplementary
53 thereto, may by written agreement with [his] their proper authority
54 exchange hours of work with other employees doing similar work in the
55 same state institution or other state governmental unit without overtime
56 compensation. Upon the approval of the director of the budget a member
A. 7424 5
1 of the state police may be considered to have worked, for the purpose of
2 determining overtime compensation pursuant to the provisions of this
3 section, a minimum of four hours each time [he is] they are recalled to
4 work overtime after completing [his] their scheduled work period and
5 leaving [his] their scheduled work station or may be considered to have
6 worked a minimum of two hours each time [he is] they are scheduled to
7 return and returns to duty to work overtime for the purpose of making an
8 appearance in court after completing [his] their regularly scheduled
9 work period and leaving [his] their regularly scheduled work station.
10 Upon the approval of the director of the budget an employee may be
11 considered to have worked, for the purpose of determining overtime
12 compensation pursuant to the provisions of this section, a minimum of
13 one-half day each time [he is] they are recalled to work overtime after
14 completing [his] their scheduled work period and leaving [his] their
15 scheduled work station; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of
16 an agreement negotiated between the state and an employee organization
17 pursuant to article fourteen of the civil service law, an employee
18 recalled to work may be considered to have worked less than a minimum of
19 one-half day and an employee recalled to work more than once during a
20 period of one-half day commencing with the onset of the initial recall
21 will not be entitled to more than one-half day of overtime credit unless
22 more than one-half day is actually worked. When an employee shall work
23 overtime in a position which has a title which is allocated to a lower
24 salary grade than the salary grade to which the title of [his] their
25 regular position is allocated, [he] they shall receive overtime compen-
26 sation at one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay of the maximum
27 salary of the grade of the position in which [he] they shall work over-
28 time, or such maximum salary plus the additional increment or incre-
29 ments, if [he] they would be entitled to such additional increment or
30 increments were [he] they then appointed to such position; provided,
31 however, that when such hourly rate exceeds the hourly rate of pay
32 received by [him] them in [his] their regular position, [he] they shall
33 receive one and one-half times the hourly rate of [his] their regular
34 position. When an employee works overtime in a position allocated to a
35 salary grade higher than the salary grade to which [his] their regular
36 position is allocated, [he] they shall receive overtime compensation at
37 one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay of the rate of compen-
38 sation to which he would be entitled if [he] they were permanently
39 promoted to the position in which such overtime work is performed.
40 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, where an agreement between
41 the state and an employee organization entered into pursuant to article
42 fourteen of this chapter [on behalf of officers and employees serving in
43 positions in the institutional services unit] so provides that such
44 officers and employees covered by such agreement shall receive overtime
45 compensation at a rate of two times the hourly rate of pay received by
46 such employee in [his] their regular position for such hours of work
47 that qualify for such payment under the terms of such agreement.
