44 lar position or title or in a position the title of which is allocated
45 to the same salary grade as [his] their regular position, shall receive
46 overtime compensation for the hours worked in excess of forty in each
47 week at one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay received by such
48 employee in [his] their regular position; provided, however, that an

5 work overtime after completing [his] their scheduled work period and
6 leaving [his] their scheduled work station or may be considered to have

8 return and returns to duty to work overtime for the purpose of making an
9 appearance in court after completing [his] their regularly scheduled
10 work period and leaving [his] their regularly scheduled work station.

12 considered to have worked, for the purpose of determining overtime
13 compensation pursuant to the provisions of this section, a minimum of
14 one-half day each time [he is] they are recalled to work overtime after
15 completing [his] their scheduled work period and leaving [his] their
16 scheduled work station; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of

26 regular position is allocated, [he] they shall receive overtime compen-
27 sation at one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay of the maximum
28 salary of the grade of the position in which [he] they shall work over-

39 sation to which he would be entitled if [he] they were permanently
40 promoted to the position in which such overtime work is performed.

42 the state and an employee organization entered into pursuant to article
43 fourteen of this chapter [on behalf of officers and employees serving in
44 positions in the institutional services unit] so provides that such
45 officers and employees covered by such agreement shall receive overtime
46 compensation at a rate of two times the hourly rate of pay received by
47 such employee in [his] their regular position for such hours of work
48 that qualify for such payment under the terms of such agreement.
