   2. Effective March 26, 2026 for officers and employees on the adminis-
 trative payroll and effective April 2, 2026 for officers  and  employees
 on  the  institutional  payroll, the basic annual salary of officers and

 trative payroll and effective April 1, 2027 for officers  and  employees

 period  shall be increased by four percent adjusted to the nearest whole

   4. Effective April 6, 2028 for officers and employees on the  adminis-
 trative  payroll and effective March 30, 2028 for officers and employees

   7.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions of subdivisions two, three, four,
 five and six of this section, if the basic annual salary of  an  officer
 or  employee  to  whom the provisions of this section apply is identical
 with the hiring rate or the job rate of the salary grade of their  posi-
 tion  on the effective dates of the increases provided in these subdivi-
 sions, such basic annual salary shall be increased to the hiring rate or
 job rate, respectively, of such salary grade as contained in the  appro-
 priate salary schedules in subparagraphs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of paragraph c
 of  subdivision  1  of section 130 of the civil service law, as added by
 A. 11576                            7
 section one of this act, to take effect on the dates  provided  in  such
 subparagraphs.  Except as herein provided to the contrary, the increases
 in basic annual salary provided by this subdivision shall be in lieu  of
 any  increase  in  basic annual salary provided for in subdivisions two,
 three, four, five and six of this section.
   8. Payments pursuant to the provisions of subdivision 6 of section 131
 of the civil service law for  annual  salaried  officers  and  employees
 entitled  to  such payments to whom the provisions of this section apply
 shall be payable in accordance with the terms of  an  agreement  reached
 pursuant to article 14 of the civil service law between the state and an
 employee  organization  representing employees subject to the provisions
 of this section.
   9. If an unencumbered position is one which if  encumbered,  would  be
 subject  to  the provisions of this section, the salary of such position
 shall be increased by the salary  increase  amounts  specified  in  this
 section.  If  a position is created, and filled by the appointment of an
 officer or employee who is subject to the provisions  of  this  section,
 the  salary  otherwise  provided for such position shall be increased in
 the same manner as though such position had been in existence but  unen-
 cumbered.   Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the director
 of the budget may reduce the salary of any such  position  which  is  or
 becomes vacant.
   10. The increases in salary provided in subdivisions two, three, four,
 five  and  six of this section shall apply on a pro-rated basis to offi-
 cers and employees, otherwise eligible to receive an increase in salary,
 who are paid on an hourly or per diem  basis,  employees  serving  on  a
 part-time  or seasonal basis, and employees paid on any basis other than
 at an annual salary rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the  provisions
 of subdivisions seven, eight and fifteen of this section shall not apply
 to  employees  serving on a per diem or seasonal basis, except as deter-
 mined by the director of the budget.
   11. In order to provide for the officers and employees  to  whom  this
 section  applies but are not allocated to salary grades, but are paid on
 an annual basis, increases and payments pursuant to  subdivisions  eight
 and  fifteen  of this section in proportion to those provided to persons
 to whom this section applies who are allocated  to  salary  grades,  the
 director  of  the  budget  is  authorized to add appropriate adjustments
 and/or payments to the compensation which such  officers  and  employees
 are  otherwise  entitled  to  receive.  The director of the budget shall
 issue certificates which shall contain schedules of  positions  and  the
 salaries  and/or  payments thereof for which adjustments and/or payments
 are made pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision, and a  copy  of
 each  such  certificate  shall  be filed with the state comptroller, the
 department of civil service, the chair of the senate  finance  committee
 and the chair of the assembly ways and means committee.
   12.   Notwithstanding   any  other  provision  of  this  section,  the
 provisions of this section shall not apply to officers or employees paid
 on a fee schedule basis, provided however, that the increases  in  basic
 annual  salary  provided  for in subdivisions two, three, four, five and
 six of this section shall apply to fire instructors paid on a fee sched-
 ule basis employed by the division of homeland  security  and  emergency
 services.
   13. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, except subdi-
 vision one of this section, any increase in compensation for any officer
 or  employee  appointed  to  a lower graded position from a redeployment
 list pursuant to subdivision 1 of section 79 of the  civil  service  law
 A. 11576                            8
 who  continues  to receive their former salary pursuant to such subdivi-
 sion shall be determined on the basis  of  such  lower  graded  position
 provided,  however, that the increase in salary provided in this section
 shall  not  cause  such officer's or employee's salary to exceed the job
 rate of such lower graded position.
   14. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section or any law  to
 the  contrary,  any increase in compensation may be withheld in whole or
 in part from any employee to whom the provisions  of  this  section  are
 applicable  when,  in  the opinion of the director of the budget and the
 director of employee relations, such increase is not warranted or is not
 appropriate for any reason.
   15. Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the contrary, offi-
 cers and employees to whom the provisions of this  section  apply  shall
 receive performance awards in accordance with the terms of a collective-
 ly  negotiated agreement between the state and the employee organization
 representing such employees entered into pursuant to article 14  of  the
 civil service law, effective for the period commencing April 2, 2026, in
 accordance  with the rules and regulations issued by the director of the
 budget to implement payment of such negotiated performance awards.
   § 3. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when, in the  profes-
 sional, scientific and technical services unit, a determination has been
 implemented to increase the hiring rate of a position in accordance with
 subdivision  4  of  section  130 of the civil service law, incumbents of
 such positions who are employed in any state department, state  institu-
 tion  or other state agency, in the particular area or areas or location
 or locations affected, who did not receive the benefit of the new hiring
 salary or have their salaries brought up to such new hiring  salary  may
 receive increased compensation as determined by an agreement between the
 office  of employee relations and the employee organization representing
 such unit.
   § 4. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, where an agreement
 between the state and the employee organization that represents  employ-
 ees  in  the  professional,  scientific  and  technical services unit so
 provides, there shall be paid a higher education differential consistent
 with the terms of such agreement.
   § 5. Location compensation for certain state officers  and  employees.
 1.    Notwithstanding  any  inconsistent provisions of law, officers and
 employees, including seasonal officers and employees who shall  continue
 to  receive  the compensation provided for pursuant to this section on a
 pro-rated basis except part-time officers and employees, in the  collec-
 tive  negotiating  unit  designated  as the professional, scientific and
 technical services unit established pursuant to article 14 of the  civil
