    49  this act; provided, however, that, for the purposes of  determining  the
    50  salary  of such officer or employee upon reclassification, reallocation,
    51  appointment, promotion,  transfer,  demotion,  reinstatement,  or  other
    52  change  of  status, such salary increase shall be deemed to be effective
    53  on the date thereof as prescribed by  this  act,  with  payment  thereof

    54  pursuant  to  this  section  on a date prior thereto, instead of on such
    55  effective date, and shall not operate to confer  any  additional  salary

    16  amounts paid under this act shall count as  compensation  earned  during
    17  the  year  or  years  for which it is calculated and not as compensation
    18  earned wholly in the year in which the lump sum is paid.
    19    § 22. Use of appropriations.  Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  the
    20  state  finance  law  or  any other provision of law to the contrary, the
    21  state comptroller is authorized to pay any amounts required by the fore-

    22  going provisions of this act. To the extent that existing appropriations

    24  to accomplish the purposes set forth in this section,  the  director  of
    25  the  budget  is  authorized  to  allocate to the various departments and
    26  agencies, from any appropriations available in  any  fund,  the  amounts
    27  necessary  to  make  such  payments.  Any  appropriations or other funds
