Cops in pay deal at last

11% retroactive

The PBA on Tuesday finally reached a tentative contract settlement with City Hall — ending five years of negotiations that turned ugly under Mayor de Blasio.

Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association members landed a slightly better deal on retroactive pay than most other municipal workers: a total of 11 percent going back to 2010, compared with the others’ 10 percent, officials said.

All 23,810 officers will get a 2.25 percent salary increase in March that de Blasio said is for neighborhood policing, even though it will also be given to cops who don’t walk a beat.

The contract also requires all PBA members on patrol to wear body cameras by the end of 2019.

The pact will cost the city $530.4 million, but that amount will be offset by $193.7 million in “labor reserve’’ funds, officials said.

For 2010 and 2011, a state arbitration panel previously awarded cops a 1 percent increase in each year.

And now under the deal, which must still be ratified by the union’s rank-and-file, salaries would be increased by 1 percent for each of 2012 and 2013, then 1.5 percent for 2014, 2.5 percent for 2015015 and 3 percent for 2016.

The contract expires on Aug. 1 of this year.

The patrol bonus would be funded with salary cuts for new hires, de Blasioo said.

Cops starting out woulduld receive $42,500 a year andnd then after five yearsars $85,292.

Both the city and PBABA agreed as part of the deal to push state legislators to re-restore newly hired cops’ po-potential disability pay toto three-quarters of their final year’s salary instead of the current 50 percent.

Part of the giveback for members would be a 1 per-ercent employee contributionon into disability benefits.

Sources said the settle-lement was rushed in part be-because de Blasio is up forfor re-election and wants thehe support of police.

But PBA President Pat Lynch did not commit to endorsing Hizzoner.

“When that time comes, we’ll look at all the candidates that are involved and we’ll make a decision, not before,” he said.
