    51  provisions of law, full-time annual salaried officers and employees,  as
    52  well  as  non-annual  salaried seasonal officers and employees who shall
    53  receive the compensation provided for pursuant  to  this  section  on  a

        S. 9821                             4
 
     1  prorated  basis,  except  non-annual salaried officers and employees who
     2  are not seasonal, in the collective negotiating units designated as  the
     3  administrative services unit, the institutional services unit, the oper-
     4  ational  services  unit,  or  the division of military and naval affairs
     5  unit established pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law,  whose
     6  principal place of employment or, in the case of a field employee, whose
     7  official station as determined in accordance with the regulations of the
     8  comptroller  is located: (1) in the county of Monroe and who were eligi-
     9  ble to receive location pay on March 31, 1985,  shall  receive  location
    10  pay  at the rate of $200 per year provided they continue to be otherwise
    11  eligible; (2) in the city of New York, or in  the  county  of  Rockland,
    12  Westchester,  Nassau or Suffolk shall, effective April 1, 2021, continue
    13  to receive a downstate adjustment at the annual rate of $3,026;  or  (3)

    18  increase  to  an  annual  rate of $3,087; and in the county of Dutchess,
    19  Putnam or Orange such amount shall increase to an annual rate of $1,543.
    20  Effective April 1, 2024, in the city of New York, or in  the  county  of

    30  performance advancements or other rights or benefits to which an officer
    31  or employee may be entitled by law,  provided,  however,  that  location
    32  payments  shall  be included as compensation for purposes of computation
    33  of overtime pay and for retirement purposes. For  the  sole  purpose  of
    34  continuing  eligibility for location pay in Monroe county, an officer or
    35  employee previously eligible to receive location pay on March  31,  1985
    36  who  is  on  an approved leave of absence or participates in an employer
    37  program to reduce  to  part-time  service  during  summer  months  shall

    47  dollar amount.
    48    3. Effective  March 28, 2024, the basic annual salary of officers  and
    49  employees  in full-time employment status on the day before such payroll
    50  period shall be increased by three percent adjusted to the nearest whole

        S. 9821                             5
 
     1    5.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of subdivisions   two, three and
     2  four of this  section,  if  the basic annual salary  of  an  officer  or
     3  employee  to whom the provisions of this section apply is identical with
     4  the hiring rate,  job  rate, or step 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 of  the  salary
     5  grade  of his or her position on the effective dates  of  the  increases
     6  provided  in these  subdivisions,   such basic annual  salary  shall  be
     7  increased  to  the  hiring  rate,  step  1,  2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or job rate,
     8  respectively,  of  such salary grade as  contained  in  the  appropriate
     9  salary schedules in subparagraphs  1, 2 and 3 of paragraph e of subdivi-
    10  sion  1 of section 130 of the civil service law, as added by section one
    11  of this act, to  take  effect on  the  dates  provided  in subparagraphs
    12  1, 2 and 3 of such paragraph, respectively. The increases in basic annu-
    13  al salary provided by this subdivision shall be in lieu of any  increase
    14  in  basic annual salary provided for in subdivisions two, three and four
    15  of this section.
    16    6. Payments pursuant to the provisions of subdivision 6 of section 131
    17  of the civil service law for officers and  employees  entitled  to  such

    20  14 of the civil service law between the state and an employee  organiza-
    21  tion  representing  employees  in the collective negotiating unit desig-
    22  nated as the rent regulation services negotiating unit.
    23    7. If an unencumbered position is one which if  encumbered,  would  be
    24  subject  to  the provisions of this section, the salary of such position
    25  shall be increased by the salary  increase  amounts  specified  in  this
    26  section.  If  a  position is created and filled by the appointment of an
    27  officer or employee who is subject to the provisions  of  this  section,
    28  the  salary  otherwise  provided for such position shall be increased in
    29  the same manner as though such position had been in existence but  unen-
    30  cumbered.  Notwithstanding  the provisions of this section, the director
    31  of the budget may reduce the salary of any such  position  which  is  or
    32  becomes vacant.
    33    8.  The  increases  in  salary provided in subdivisions two, three and
    34  four of  this section shall apply on a prorated basis  to  officers  and
    35  employees,  otherwise eligible to receive an increase in salary, who are
    36  paid on an  hourly or per diem basis, employees serving on  a  part-time
    37  or seasonal basis and employees paid on any basis other than at an annu-
    38  al  salary rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of subdi-
    39  visions five and six of this section shall not apply to employees  serv-
    40  ing  on  a  seasonal  basis, except as determined by the director of the
    41  budget.
    42    9. In order to provide for the officers and  employees  to  whom  this
    43  section  applies  who  are not allocated to salary grades, increases and
    44  payments pursuant to this  section in proportion to  those  provided  to
    45  persons to whom this section applies who are allocated to salary grades,
    46  the  director of the budget is authorized to add appropriate adjustments
    47  and/or payments to the compensation which such  officers  and  employees
    48  are  otherwise  entitled  to  receive.  The director of the budget shall
    49  issue certificates which shall contain schedules of  positions  and  the
    50  salaries  and/or  payments thereof for which adjustments and/or payments
    51  are made pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision, and a  copy  of
    52  each  such  certificate  shall  be filed with the state comptroller, the
    53  state department of civil service, the chairman of  the  senate  finance
    54  committee and the chairman of the assembly ways and means committee.

     1    10.  Notwithstanding  any of the foregoing provisions of this section,
     2  the provisions of this section shall not apply to officers or  employees
     3  paid on a fee schedule basis.
     4    11.  Notwithstanding  any  of the foregoing provisions of this section
     5  except subdivision one, any increase in compensation for any officer  or
     6  employee  appointed  to a lower graded position from a redeployment list
     7  pursuant to subdivision 1 of section 79 of the  civil  service  law  who
     8  continues  to receive his or her former salary pursuant to such subdivi-
     9  sion shall be determined on the basis  of  such  lower  graded  position
    10  provided, however, that the increases in salary provided in subdivisions
    11  two,  three  and  four of this section shall not cause such officer's or
    12  employee's salary to exceed the job rate of such lower graded position.
    13    12. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section or
    14  any law to the contrary, any increase in compensation may be withheld in
    15  whole or in part from any  employee  to  whom  the  provisions  of  this
    16  section are applicable when, in the opinion of the director of the budg-
    17  et  and  the  director  of  employee  relations,  such  increase  is not
    18  warranted or is not appropriate for any reason.
    19    § 4. 1. Location compensation for certain state officers and employees
    20  in collective   negotiating   units.  Notwithstanding  any  inconsistent
    21  provisions  of  law, officers and employees, including seasonal officers
    22  and employees who shall receive the compensation provided  for  pursuant
    23  to  this  section  on  a  pro-rated basis, except part-time officers and
    24  employees, in the collective negotiating unit   designated as  the  rent
    25  regulation  services  negotiating unit, whose principal place of employ-
    26  ment or, in the case of a field  employee,  whose  official  station  as
    27  determined  in  accordance  with  the regulations of the comptroller, is
    28  located in the city of New York, or in the county of Rockland, Westches-
    29  ter, Nassau or Suffolk shall continue to receive a downstate  adjustment
    30  at  the  annual rate of $3,026. Such location payments shall increase to
    31  the following amounts:

    33    (b) Effective April 1, 2024: $3,400; and
    34    (c) Effective April 1, 2025: $4,000.
    35    2. Such location payments shall be in addition to and shall not  be  a
    36  part  of  an  officer's or employee's basic annual salary, and shall not
    37  affect or impair any performance advancements or other rights  or  bene-
    38  fits  to  which an officer or employee may be entitled by law, provided,
    39  however, that location payments shall be included  as  compensation  for
    40  purposes of computation of overtime pay and for retirement purposes.
    41    § 5. 1. For employees in the rent regulation services unit, a one-time
    42  $3,000  signing bonus shall be paid to all eligible members of the unit.
    43  Such signing bonus shall not be part of basic annual salary.  Similarly,
    44  such  signing  bonus  shall  not  be subject to any salary increases and
    45  shall not be pensionable. Such signing bonus shall be prorated for those
    46  employees paid on any basis other than an annual basis.  Employees  paid
    47  on  a  part-time, hourly or per diem basis shall receive a signing bonus
    48  pro-rated on a basis reflecting the actual hours worked between December
    49  22, 2023 and April 24, 2024, for officers and employees on the  adminis-
    50  trative  payroll. To qualify, employees must be in continuous service in
    51  the Rent Regulation Services Unit between December 22,  2023  and  April
    52  24,  2024 as defined by paragraph (c) of subdivision 3 of section 130 of
    53  the civil service law. Employees who separate from state service between
    54  December 22, 2023 and April 24, 2024 shall  not  be  eligible  for  such
    55  signing  bonus unless they retire directly from active state employment.

        S. 9821                             7
 
     1  Such bonus shall be effective April 24, 2024 for officers and  employees
     2  on the administrative payroll.
     3    2.  Any  DC-37  represented employee that has already received a bonus
     4  payment pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement of another  unit
     5  or  as  a  management confidential employee shall be ineligible for this
     6  payment.
     7    § 6. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, where an agreement
     8  between the state and the employee organization that represents  employ-
     9  ees in the rent regulation services unit so provides, effective April 1,
    10  2025 longevity awards shall be paid in accordance with the terms of such
    11  agreement.
    12    § 7. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, where an agreement
    13  between  the state and the employee organization that represents employ-

    15  paid  a  higher education differential consistent with the terms of such
    16  agreement.
    17    § 8. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, where  and  to

    19  ization entered into pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law  so
    20  provides  on  behalf of  employees in the  collective  negotiating  unit
    21  designated as  the rent regulation services negotiating unit, the  state

    26  appropriated in this act and shall not be part of  basic  annual  salary
    27  for overtime or retirement purposes.
    28    §  9. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the appro-
    29  priations contained in this act shall be available to the state for  the

    52  negotiated agreement, ratified by the  membership,  which  provides  for
    53  such increases and modifications and which are fully executed in writing
    54  with the state pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law.
