ing unit a collective bargaining agreement which provides for such

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

or agency from any appropriation or other funds available to such state
