The provisions of sections three, four, five and six of this act shall not be implemented for nonjudicial officers and employees in a collective negotiating unit established pursuant to article fourteen of the civil service law until the chief administrator of the courts shall deliver to the comptroller a certificate that there is in effect with respect to such negotiating unit a written collective bargaining agreement with the state pursuant to article fourteen of the civil service law which provides therefor; and any increase in compensation, including increases in basic annual salary, increments or partial increments, bonuses, lump sum payments, or longevity payments, provided by sections three, four and five of this act or otherwise authorized by law: (a) may be withheld in whole or in part from any nonjudicial officer or employee not in a collective negotiating unit when in the opinion of the chief administrator, such increase is not warranted or is not appro- priate; and (b) shall not preclude any other increases in compensation for such a nonjudicial officer or employee as may be authorized by law. S 9. Date of entitlement to salary increase. Notwithstanding the provisions of this act or any other law, each increase in salary or compensation for nonjudicial officers or employees provided by this act shall be added to the salary or compensation of such officer or employee at the beginning of the payroll period the first day of which is nearest to the effective date of such increase as provided in this act; provided, however, for the purposes of determining the salary of such officer or employee upon reclassification, reallocation, appointment, promotion, transfer, demotion, reinstatement or other change of status, such salary increase shall be deemed to be effective on the date thereof as prescribed in this act, and the payment thereof pursuant to this A. 10098 10 section on the date prior thereto instead of on such effective date, shall not operate to confer any additional salary rights or benefits on such officer or employee. S 10. Deferred payment of salary increase. Notwithstanding the provisions of this act or any other law, commencing April 1, 2011, and pending payment pursuant to this act of the basic annual salaries of incumbents of positions subject to this act commencing April 1, 2011, such incumbents shall receive, as partial compensation for services rendered, the rate of compensation otherwise payable in their respective positions pursuant to law then in effect. An incumbent holding a posi- tion subject to this act at any time during the period from April 1, 2011 until the time when basic annual salaries are first paid pursuant to this act for such service 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 therefor. Such lump sum payment shall be made as soon as practicable. S 11. This act shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2011.
