N.Y. Judiciary Law § 122: Compensation of official referees

§ 122. Compensation of official referees. Every official referee

continued in office and serving under the provisions of this article

shall receive as compensation one-half of the amount now or hereafter

paid to the incumbent of the office which he held prior to his

retirement; provided, however, that any official referee of the

municipal court of the city of New York in the first or second judicial

department so continued in office shall receive as compensation

three-fourths of the amount paid to the incumbent of the office which he

held prior to his retirement. Any official referee of the city court of

the city of New York who is serving as such on April tenth, nineteen

hundred forty-six, shall be entitled to receive as compensation,

two-thirds of the amount paid to the incumbent of the office which he

held prior to his retirement. Any official referee of the supreme court

heretofore or hereafter appointed who shall be assigned for service as

such official referee in any county outside of the county wherein he

resides, and any official referee of the court of appeals who shall be

assigned for service as such official referee in any county outside of

the county wherein he resides, shall receive in addition to the

compensation provided for by this chapter, his actual traveling expenses

from his residence to the place in such county where he has been

assigned for services as such official referee and, if such place is

less than twenty-five miles from his residence, the sum of ten dollars

per diem and if such place where he has been so assigned is more than

twenty-five miles from his residence the sum of twenty dollars per diem

and he shall receive such additional moneys during the time that he is

actually engaged in rendering services as an official referee in such

county. The manner of payment of such compensation and its sources are

to be the same as in the case of the incumbent of the office from which

such official referee has retired.
