    15  ization  for  the  establishment  and maintenance of an employee benefit
    16  fund established by the employee organization for the employees  in  the

    29  (2),  and  (3),  respectively.  The  increases  in  basic  annual salary

    31  annual  salary provided for in subdivisions two, three, and four of this
    32  section.
    33    8. If an unencumbered position is one which if  encumbered,  would  be
    34  subject  to  the provisions of this section, the salary of such position
    35  shall be increased by the salary  increase  amounts  specified  in  this
    36  section.  If  a  position is created and is filled by the appointment of
    37  such unit members to whom the provisions  of  this  section  apply,  the
    38  salary  otherwise  provided  for such position shall be increased in the
    39  same manner as though such position had been in existence  but  unencum-

    43    9.  The  increases  in  salary  payable pursuant to this section shall
    44  apply on a prorated basis to officers and employees, otherwise  eligible
    45  to  receive an increase in salary pursuant to this section, who are paid
    46  on an hourly or per diem basis, employees  serving  on  a  part-time  or
    47  seasonal  basis  and employees paid on any basis other than at an annual
    48  salaried rate; except that the provisions of subdivision five,  six  and
    49  seven of this section shall not apply to employees serving on an hourly,
    50  per diem, or seasonal basis, except as determined by the director of the
    51  budget.
    52    10.   Notwithstanding   any  other  provision  of  this  section,  the
    53  provisions of this section shall not apply to officers or employees paid
    54  on a fee schedule basis.
    55    11. In order to provide for the officers and employees  to  whom  this
    56  section  applies  who  are  not  allocated to salary grades, performance

     1  advancements and payments in proportion to those provided to persons  to
     2  whom this section applies who are allocated to salary grades, the direc-
     3  tor  of  the  budget is authorized to add appropriate adjustments to the
     4  compensation which such officers and employees are otherwise entitled to
     5  receive. The director of the budget shall issue certificates which shall
     6  contain  schedules  of  positions  and  the  salaries  thereof for which
     7  adjustments are made pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision, and
     8  a copy of each such certificate shall be  filed  with  the  state  comp-
     9  troller,  the department of civil service, the chairperson of the senate
    10  finance committee and the chairperson of the  assembly  ways  and  means
    11  committee.
    12    12.  Notwithstanding  any of the foregoing provisions of this section,
    13  any increase in compensation may be withheld in whole or  in  part  from
    14  any such unit members to whom the provisions of this section apply when,
    15  in  the  opinion  of  the director of the division of the budget and the
    16  director of employee relations, such increase is not warranted or is not
    17  appropriate.
    18    § 4. Retention bonus lump sum. For  employees  in  the  agency  police
    19  services  unit,  a  one-time  $3,000 retention bonus will be paid to all
    20  eligible members of the unit. This bonus is not  part  of  basic  annual
    21  salary.  Similarly, the bonus is not subject to any salary increases and
    22  is not pensionable. The bonus shall be  pro-rated  for  those  employees
    23  paid  on any basis other than an annual basis. Employees paid on a part-
    24  time, hourly or per diem basis shall receive a retention bonus pro-rated
    25  on a basis reflecting the actual hours worked between May  9,  2024  and
    26  September  11, 2024. To qualify, employees must be in continuous service
    27  in the agency police services unit between May 9, 2024 and September 11,
    28  2024 as defined by paragraph (c) of subdivision 3 of section 130 of  the
    29  civil service law. Employees who separate from state service between May
    30  9,  2024  and  September 11, 2024 are not eligible for this bonus unless
    31  they retire directly from active state employment. This bonus  shall  be
    32  effective September 11, 2024.
    33    §  5. Additional compensation for certain members of the agency police
    34  services collective negotiating unit. 1. In recognition of  the  general
    35  requirement  for  full-time  employees of the state in the agency police
    36  services unit to assemble for briefing  prior  to  the  commencement  of
    37  duties,  where  and  to  the  extent an agreement so provides, each such
    38  employee except  such  an  employee  receiving  additional  compensation
    39  pursuant to subdivision 5 of section 134 of the civil service law, shall
    40  continue  to receive additional compensation in recognition of pre-shift
    41  briefing at one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay  provided  for
    42  by  subdivision  1 of section 134 of the civil service law and the rules
    43  and regulations of the director of the budget.
    44    2. Members of the agency police services collective  negotiating  unit
    45  who  are  full-time  annual salaried and are police officers pursuant to
    46  subdivision 34 of section 1.20 of the criminal procedure  law,  who  are
    47  required,  authorized  and  actually  assemble for pre-shift briefing or
    48  line up before the commencement of their  regular  tour  of  duty  shall
    49  continue  to  be  paid for pre-shift briefing. However, employees of the
    50  department of environmental conservation who do not physically  line  up
    51  shall  be  paid  the  equivalent  of pre-shift compensation for vehicle,
    52  equipment, office maintenance, and the handling of phone calls and  home
    53  visitations received and instigated outside of the regular workday. This
    54  payment  supplants  any  payments  made  to such employees for equipment
    55  storage.  There shall be no payment of pre-shift briefing for any day in
    56  which any employee who is a member of the agency police  services  unit,

        S. 9818                             8
 
     1  full-time  annual  salaried and a police officer pursuant to subdivision
     2  34 of section 1.20 of the  criminal  procedure  law  is  not  physically
     3  reporting to work.
     4    3.  Any such additional compensation pursuant to this section shall be
     5  paid in addition to and shall not be a part  of  such  employee's  basic
     6  annual salary and shall not be included as compensation for the purposes
     7  of  computation of overtime pay, provided, however, that such additional
     8  compensation shall be included for retirement purposes.  Notwithstanding
     9  the foregoing provisions of this section or of any other law, such addi-
    10  tional  compensation  as  added  by this section shall be in lieu of the
    11  continuation of any other additional compensation for such unit  members
    12  in recognition of pre-shift briefing.
    13    §  6.  Clothing  allowance.  Effective  April 1, 2023, pursuant to the
    14  terms of an agreement covering members of  the  agency  police  services
    15  collective  negotiating  unit  who are full-time annual salaried and are
    16  classified as investigators or detectives, in recognition of the general
    17  requirement for such unit members to whom the provisions of this section
    18  apply to wear professional attire, each such  employee  who  is  on  the
    19  payroll on the first day of November preceding the annual effective date
    20  shall continue to receive a clothing allowance at a rate of four hundred
    21  dollars per year.
    22    §  7.  Location pay. 1. Pursuant to the terms of an agreement covering
    23  members of the agency police services collective negotiating  unit,  and
