  stub through a secure password-protected website, which can be  accessed
  remotely from a computer terminal or kiosk with intranet and/or internet
  access in compliance with any local, state and federal laws, regulations
  and  rules,  including those dealing with privacy protection. Every city
  agency  shall  make  reasonable  accommodations  to   provide   computer
  terminals  and/or  kiosks  with intranet and/or internet access for city
  employees employed by such agency to access such  employee's  electronic
  pay  stub  and shall permit said employees to access such pay stub as an
  incidental use.
    c. Any city employee who does not wish to receive  an  electronic  pay
  stub  pursuant  to  subdivision  a  of  this  section may request that a
  printed paper copy of such employee's pay stub be prepared and forwarded
  to such employee.
    d. No later than September 1, 2008, the executive director of  payroll

  implementation  cycles  for  all  city  agencies  to  comply  with   the
  provisions  of  this  local  law  by  December 31, 2009. Such plan shall
  include, but not be limited to, a  phase-in  period  during  which  city

  stubs  in  printed  paper  copy format pursuant to subdivision c of this
  section.
    e.  Any  obligation  to  prepare  an  electronic  version  of  a  city

  regulations.
