45 this act shall be added to the salary of such member at the beginning of

47 date of such increase as provided in this act, or at the beginning of
48 the earlier of two payroll periods the first days of which are nearest

54 on the date thereof as prescribed by this act, with payment thereof

21 contrary, no member of the unit consisting of investigators, senior
22 investigators, and investigative specialists in the division of state
23 police to whom the provisions of this act apply shall be entitled to, or
24 owed, any interest or other penalty for any reason on any monies due to
