     2  of  the total number of hours worked during the taxable year by eligible
     3  employees for which they were paid at the minimum wage rate  as  defined
     4  in  article  nineteen  of  the labor law and [seventy five] seventy-five
     5  cents. For taxable years beginning on or after January first, two  thou-
     6  sand  fifteen and before January first, two thousand sixteen, the amount
     7  of the credit allowed under this section shall be equal to  the  product
     8  of  the total number of hours during the taxable year worked by eligible

    23  29  U.S.C.  section 206 or its successors is increased above eighty-five
    24  percent of the minimum wage in article nineteen of the  labor  law,  the
    25  dollar  amounts  in  this subdivision shall be reduced to the difference
    26  between the minimum wage in article nineteen of the labor  law  and  the
    27  federal minimum wage.  Such reduction would take effect on the date that
    28  employers are required to pay such federal minimum wage.
