§ 216-b. Salary increments. 1. A member whose annual basic salary is
prescribed by subparagraph one of paragraph a of subdivision two of
section two hundred fifteen of this article shall receive the minimum
salary of his position plus the number of increments which corresponds
to his years of service in such position, subject to the provisions of
this section, provided, however, that effective July first, nineteen
hundred seventy-one initial employment in the position of trooper shall
be at the training rate and progression of such members or any other
troopers paid at such training rate to the minimum salary of the
position of trooper shall be by means of an annual increment equal to
the difference between the training rate and the minimum salary of the
position of trooper subject to the conditions described in this
subdivision, except that on or after the date that the first
collectively negotiated agreement entered into after April first,
nineteen hundred eighty-one pursuant to article fourteen of the civil
service law covering the unit consisting of troopers in the division of
state police is executed in writing, initial employment in the position
of trooper shall be at training rate one and, such members shall advance
to training rate two effective on the first day of the next payroll
period following the member's anniversary date of appointment to the
division of state police, subject to the provisions of section
forty-four of the state finance law, provided the member's service in
the position has been satisfactory in the judgment of the
superintendent, and further progression of such members to the minimum
salary of the position of trooper shall be by means of an annual
increment subject to the conditions described in this subdivision.
Annual increments shall become effective on the first day of the next
payroll period following the member's anniversary date of appointment to
the division of state police, subject, however, to the provisions of
section forty-four of the state finance law. Except as provided below, a
member shall be eligible to receive an increment in such position on the
first day of the next payroll period following the member's anniversary
date of appointment to the division of state police, provided his
service in the position or positions held by the member during the
previous year has been satisfactory in the judgment of the
superintendent. No member shall receive an increment which would result
in the member receiving an annual salary in excess of the maximum salary
prescribed for his position, or the amount to which he may be entitled
pursuant to subdivisions two and five of this section. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this subdivision, members who are initially
employed in the position of trooper on or after October first, nineteen
hundred eighty-one shall be employed at training rate one and such
members shall advance to training rate two effective on the first day of
the payroll period immediately following their completion of one year of
service to the division, and further advancements of such members to
step one and subsequent steps shall be by means of an annual increment
to be effective on the first day of the payroll period following their
completion of each additional year of service; such advancement shall be
subject to the provisions of section forty-four of the state finance law
and shall be payable provided the member's service has been satisfactory
in the judgment of the superintendent. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this subdivision, on and after April first, nineteen
hundred ninety-six, members who are undergoing their initial training at
the New York state police academy shall receive the academy trainee
salary and effective upon graduation from such training shall advance to
trainee rate two and such members shall advance to step one effective on
the first day of the payroll period immediately following their
completion of one year of service to the division, and further
advancement of such members to subsequent steps shall be by means of an
annual increment to be effective on the first day of the payroll period
following their completion of each additional year of service; such
advancement shall be subject to the provisions of section forty-four of
the state finance law and shall be payable provided the member's service
has been satisfactory in the judgment of the superintendent.
