§ 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.
