6 ing unit consisting of investigators, senior investigators, and investi-
7 gative specialists in the division of state police, members of such unit
8 shall continue to receive a lump sum cash payment for accumulated and
9 unused sick leave credits standing to the employee's credit at the time
10 of separation from service by retirement. The amount of such payment
11 shall be determined in the following manner:
12 (a) Effective April 1, 1998, the number of days of such accumulated
13 and unused sick leave, not to exceed 300 days, less 165 days, shall be
14 multiplied by the member's daily rate of pay in effect at the time of
15 separation from service by retirement.
16 (b) The lump sum payment shall be one-fifth of such amount provided
17 for in subdivision (a) of this section.
18 (c) Such additional compensation shall be in addition to and shall not
19 be part of the member's basic annual salary and shall not affect or
20 impair any rights or benefits to which the member may be entitled;
21 provided, however, that such additional compensation shall be included
22 as compensation for retirement purposes.

24 receive a one-time lump sum payment in the amount of $3,000. This
25 payment is not part of basic annual salary, is not subject to any salary
26 increases and is not pensionable. The one-time lump sum payment shall be
27 pro-rated for those employees paid on any basis other than an annual
28 basis. To qualify, employees must be in continuous service in the unit
29 between the period September 26, 2024 through July 25, 2025. Employees

42 receive a lump sum payment of $250 for an associate degree, $500 for a
43 bachelor's degree, and $750 for a graduate degree. Payment for such
44 degree shall occur annually in June of each year and shall be for one
45 degree only. When such degree is obtained in a fiscal year, such
46 payment shall be made as soon as practicable after conferral of the
47 degree.
48 (b) Such additional compensation as provided in this section shall be
49 in addition to, and shall not be part of, the member's basic annual
50 salary, and shall not affect or impair any rights or benefits to which
51 the member may be entitled; provided, however, that such additional
52 compensation shall be included as compensation for retirement purposes.

7 member, as determined by the division of state police. The definition
8 of short swing shall be when there are eight hours or less between the
9 scheduled end time of a member's tour of duty and the start time of the
10 next scheduled tour of duty. Such compensation shall not be payable if
11 such member's hours of work continue from the end time of the member's
12 tour of duty to the commencement of the start time of the next scheduled
13 tour of duty without interruption.
14 § 18. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, pursuant

32 act for state employees in the collective negotiating unit consisting of

36 shall have delivered to the director of the budget and the comptroller a
37 letter certifying that there is in effect with respect to such negotiat-
38 ing unit a collective bargaining agreement which provides for such
39 compensation and benefit modifications and which is fully executed in

41 and ratified pursuant to the ratification procedure of the employee
42 organization certified pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law
43 to represent such collective negotiating unit.
44 § 21. Date of entitlement to salary increase. Notwithstanding the
45 provisions of this act or of any other provision of law to the contrary,
46 the increase of salary or compensation of any member of the collective
47 negotiating unit consisting of investigators, senior investigators, and
48 investigative specialists in the division of state police provided by
49 this act shall be added to the salary of such member at the beginning of
50 that payroll period the first day of which is nearest to the effective
51 date of such increase as provided in this act, or at the beginning of
52 the earlier of two payroll periods the first days of which are nearest
53 but equally near to the effective date of such increase as provided in
54 this act; provided, however, that, for the purposes of determining the
55 salary of such officer or employee upon reclassification, reallocation,
56 appointment, promotion, transfer, demotion, reinstatement, or other
S. 8384 11
1 change of status, such salary increase shall be deemed to be effective
2 on the date thereof as prescribed by this act, with payment thereof
3 pursuant to this section on a date prior thereto, instead of on such
4 effective date, and shall not operate to confer any additional salary
5 rights or benefits on such officer or employee. Payment of such salary
6 increase may be deferred pursuant to section twenty-two of this act.
7 § 22. Deferred payment of salary increase. Notwithstanding the
8 provisions of any other section of this act or of any other provision of
9 law to the contrary, pending payment pursuant to this act of the basic
10 annual salaries of incumbents of positions subject to this act, such
11 incumbents shall receive, as partial compensation for services rendered,
12 the rate of compensation otherwise payable in their respective posi-
13 tions. An incumbent holding a position subject to this act at any time
14 during the period from the effective dates of the salary increases
15 provided for in this act until the time when basic annual salaries are
16 first paid pursuant to this act for such services in excess of the
17 compensation actually received therefor, shall be entitled to a lump sum
18 payment for the difference between the salary to which such incumbent is
19 entitled for such service and the compensation actually received there-
20 for. Such lump sum payment shall be made as soon as practicable. Any
21 amount payable in such lump sum paid represents compensation earned in
22 each of the year or years for which it is calculated pursuant to this
23 act and not as compensation earned wholly in the year during which the
24 lump sum is paid. Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the
25 contrary, no member of the unit consisting of investigators, senior
26 investigators, and investigative specialists in the division of state
27 police to whom the provisions of this act apply shall be entitled to, or
28 owed, any interest or other penalty for any reason on any monies due to
29 such member pursuant to the terms of the agreement covering employees in
30 the unit consisting of investigators, senior investigators, and investi-
31 gative specialists in the division of state police.

33 state finance law or any other provision of law to the contrary,
34 commencing April 1, 2025, the state comptroller is authorized to pay any
35 amounts required by the provisions of this act to any state department
36 or agency from any appropriation or other funds available to such state
