In each fiscal year and on the first day of July, each eligible employee shall receive an annual increment increase of fifty seventy-five dollars for that fiscal year.
(b) Every employee becoming newly eligible as a result of meeting the three years of service minimum requirement on the first day of July in any fiscal year is entitled to the annual salary increase equal to fifty seventy-five dollars times the employee's years of service, where he or she has not in a previous fiscal year received the benefit of an increment computation. Thereafter, the employee shall receive a single annual increment increase of fifty seventy-five dollars for each subsequent fiscal year.
(c) These incremental increases are in addition to any across-the-board, cost-of-living or percentage salary increases which may be granted in any fiscal year by the Legislature.
(d) This section shall not be construed to prohibit other pay increases based on merit, seniority, promotion or other reason, if funds are available for the other pay increases: Provided, That the executive head of each spending unit shall first grant the mandated increase in compensation in this section to all eligible employees prior to the consideration of any increases based on merit, seniority, promotion or other reason.

(b) If an officer's or employee's net wages are direct deposited under the provisions of section one-b of this article, the State Auditor shall provide the statement through the officer's or employee's payroll officer or by electronic means.
