§ 4. Subdivision 1 of section 134 of the civil service law, as amended
by chapter 165 of the laws of 2017, is amended to read as follows:
1. For all state officers and employees, other than officers and
employees of the legislature and the judiciary and other than those who
shall be excluded pursuant to the rules and regulations hereafter
mentioned, the workweek for basic annual salary shall not be more than
forty-hours; and, notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of law,
and subject to the rules and regulations promulgated by the director of
the budget, any such state officer and employee who is authorized or
required to work more than forty hours in any week in [his] THEIR regu-
lar position or title or in a position the title of which is allocated
to the same salary grade as [his] THEIR regular position, shall receive
overtime compensation for the hours worked in excess of forty in each
week at one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay received by such
employee in [his] THEIR regular position; provided, however, that an
employee not subject to the overtime provisions of the federal "Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938" as amended by the federal "Fair Labor Stan-
dards Amendments of 1966", being public law six hundred one of the
eighty-ninth congress, as approved September twenty-three, nineteen
hundred sixty-six, and all acts amendatory thereof and supplementary
thereto, may by written agreement with [his] THEIR proper authority
exchange hours of work with other employees doing similar work in the
same state institution or other state governmental unit without overtime
compensation. Upon the approval of the director of the budget a member
A. 7424 5
of the state police may be considered to have worked, for the purpose of
determining overtime compensation pursuant to the provisions of this
section, a minimum of four hours each time [he is] THEY ARE recalled to
work overtime after completing [his] THEIR scheduled work period and
leaving [his] THEIR scheduled work station or may be considered to have
worked a minimum of two hours each time [he is] THEY ARE scheduled to
return and returns to duty to work overtime for the purpose of making an
appearance in court after completing [his] THEIR regularly scheduled
work period and leaving [his] THEIR regularly scheduled work station.
Upon the approval of the director of the budget an employee may be
considered to have worked, for the purpose of determining overtime
compensation pursuant to the provisions of this section, a minimum of
one-half day each time [he is] THEY ARE recalled to work overtime after
completing [his] THEIR scheduled work period and leaving [his] THEIR
scheduled work station; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of
an agreement negotiated between the state and an employee organization
pursuant to article fourteen of the civil service law, an employee
recalled to work may be considered to have worked less than a minimum of
one-half day and an employee recalled to work more than once during a
period of one-half day commencing with the onset of the initial recall
will not be entitled to more than one-half day of overtime credit unless
more than one-half day is actually worked. When an employee shall work
overtime in a position which has a title which is allocated to a lower
salary grade than the salary grade to which the title of [his] THEIR
regular position is allocated, [he] THEY shall receive overtime compen-
sation at one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay of the maximum
salary of the grade of the position in which [he] THEY shall work over-
time, or such maximum salary plus the additional increment or incre-
ments, if [he] THEY would be entitled to such additional increment or
increments were [he] THEY then appointed to such position; provided,
however, that when such hourly rate exceeds the hourly rate of pay
received by [him] THEM in [his] THEIR regular position, [he] THEY shall
receive one and one-half times the hourly rate of [his] THEIR regular
position. When an employee works overtime in a position allocated to a
salary grade higher than the salary grade to which [his] THEIR regular
position is allocated, [he] THEY shall receive overtime compensation at
one and one-half times the hourly rate of pay of the rate of compen-
sation to which he would be entitled if [he] THEY were permanently
promoted to the position in which such overtime work is performed.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, where an agreement between
the state and an employee organization entered into pursuant to article
fourteen of this chapter [on behalf of officers and employees serving in
positions in the institutional services unit] so provides THAT such
officers and employees COVERED BY SUCH AGREEMENT shall receive overtime
compensation at a rate of two times the hourly rate of pay received by
such employee in [his] THEIR regular position for such hours of work
that qualify for such payment under the terms of such agreement.
