A. 

A warrant for the salary of an officer or an employee of a City agency as set forth on a biweekly payroll shall be delivered to the Treasurer.

B. 

The Treasurer shall deliver the warrant to the payee named therein, except as hereinafter provided, upon regular days, to be fixed for a City agency by regulation of the Comptroller, which regulation shall be posted in the office of the City agency, but, Sundays and holidays excepted, such days shall not be more than 10 days after the expiration of the period for which the salary or wages have been earned and are to be paid and in no event shall be prior to the last day of the payroll period.

C. 

The head of a City agency may file a written designation of one or more persons employed therein with the Treasurer to receive the salary warrants and distribute them to the employees of the City agency.

D. 

The Treasurer shall have the discretionary power to deliver the salary warrants to the person so designated; provided, however, that an officer or employee of a City agency may file with the Treasurer a written statement, signed and acknowledged by him, directing that his salary warrant shall be delivered to himself only or to such other person as he shall appoint for the purpose, in which event delivery shall be made only as directed in the statement.

E. 

The foregoing provisions relating to the delivery of salary warrants by the Treasurer shall not apply where the amount of salary or compensation set forth in the warrant and otherwise payable to an officer or employee is subject to deduction or retention in whole or in part pursuant to law, in which event the Treasurer shall pay to the payee only that part of the proceeds, if any, which is not subject to deduction or retention.
