§ 90. Payment of overtime compensation to public officers or

employees. The governing board of each municipal corporation or other

civil division or political subdivision of the state, or in the city of

New York, the mayor, by ordinance, local law, resolution, order or rule,

may provide for the payment of overtime compensation to any or all

public officers except elective officers and those officers otherwise

excluded by law and to any or all public employees under their

jurisdiction at the regular basic pay rate of such officers or employees

for all time such officers or employees are required to work in excess

of their regularly established hours of employment or at such other rate

as such governing board, or in the city of New York, the mayor, may

authorize. The amounts received as overtime compensation under this

section shall be regarded as salary or compensation for any of the

purposes of any pension or retirement system of which the officer or

employee receiving the same is a member, except as set forth in sections

five hundred one, six hundred one, and twelve hundred three of the

retirement and social security law. Such overtime compensation shall not

be regarded as salary or compensation for the purpose of determining the

right to any increase of salary or any salary increment on account of

length of service or otherwise. No such overtime compensation shall be

construed to constitute a promotion.
