It\u2019s not the \u201cfinest\u201d thanks.<\/p>\n

Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s administration is delaying NYPD officers\u2019 holiday pay ahead of the Fourth of July holiday \u2014 as cops toil on 12-hour shifts during a broiling heat wave amid a crush of summer events, The Post has learned.<\/p>\n

City officials informed union leaders that cops\u2019 holiday paychecks will be sent the third week of July, rather than the second, as done in past years, according to an email from Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry sent to union members.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not only a violation of our contractual rights. (It\u2019s) also an insult to PBA members who are working long hours in extreme heat to meet the extraordinary security demands of the upcoming holiday weekend,\u201d reads the Wednesday missive, which was obtained by The Post. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe PBA will therefore file a grievance seeking to bar the City from delaying payment of the holiday checks, and we will continue to pursue every measure to hold the current City administration accountable for its refusal to support our members,\u201d Hendry wrote.<\/p>\n

Union leaders filed the grievance Wednesday with the NYPD\u2019s office of labor relations, sources said.<\/p>\n

NYPD holiday checks vary based on where an officer sit on the pay scale, but members at a basic level would get nearly $2,800, according to sources.<\/p>\n

A similar delay unfolded in January with that month\u2019s holiday check shortly after Mamdani took office, according to Hendry\u2019s email. <\/p>\n

Officials at that time contended the delay was necessary because the city\u2019s payroll office needed to update its systems to deal with new tax requirements, the email states.<\/p>\n

The grievance could go to arbitration if not corrected, sources said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis time, the City has offered no excuse for the delay,\u201d Hendry\u2019s email states.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Thousands of uniformed officers working 12-hour shifts will be deployed across the city leading up to \u2014 and including \u2014 the Fourth of July holiday, Mamdani and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said during a joint news conference Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The events start with Taylor Swift\u2019s and Travis Kelce\u2019s Madison Square Garden wedding Friday, followed the International Naval and Aviation Review, Parade of Sails and traditional Macy\u2019s Fourth of July fireworks on Saturday.<\/p>\n
