As provided in paragraphs (2) and (4) of subsection b. of section 2 of P.L.2009, c.16 (C.40A:14-201), the calendar days that accrue during any such waiver or agreement to adjourn shall not be used in calculating the date upon which the officer or firefighter is entitled, pursuant to subsection a. of section 2 of P.L.2009, c.16 (C.40A:14-201), to receive his base salary pending a final determination on the officer's or firefighter's appeal.
