Productivity Enhancement Program (PEP)

Download the Productivity Enchancement Program (PEP) Election Form

For eligible West Campus and HSC United University Professions (UUP) and eligible Management Confidential (BU-13) employees.

We are pleased to announce the availability of the Productivity Enchancement Program (PEP) for United University Professions (UUP) and Management Confidential (BU+13) employees, formerly known as Productivity Improvement Program (PIP). This program allows eligible UUP and M/C + 13 employees to exchange previously accrued annual (vacation) leave in return for a credit to be applied toward their bi-weekly employee's share of the NYSHIP premium.

Eligibility

Employees must meet the following:

• Be a SUNY UUP (BU+08) or Management Confidential (BU+13) employee
• Paid on a Calendar Year (Annual) or College Year basis
• Full-time employees must earn an annual salary not greater than $56,313.00
• Part-time employees must earn a biweekly salary not greater than $1,099.00
• Minimum balance of 8 annual days for full-time employees at time of enrollment
• Minimum balance of 4.00 annual days for part-time employees at time of enrollment
• Must be currently enrolled in NYSHIP and be eligible for employer share contributions (or be on LWOP from a position in which they are normally eligible for employer share contribution toward NYSHIP premiums). If employee & spouse both work for the State - if enrolled as individuals, both may exchange and receive PEP credit. If enrolled as family, only the one employee will receive credit.

Full-time Employees

Employees will receive a credit of up to $300.00 to be used to reduce their bi-weekly insurance premium, in exchange for 2.00 days of accrued annual leave.

Part-time Employees

Employees will receive a credit of up to $150.00 to be used to reduce their bi-weekly insurance premium, in exchange for 1.50 days of accrued annual leave.

The credit will apply only to the employee share of the NYSHIP premium. If the credit amount exceeds the employee share of the premium, the employee will pay no premium, but any excess credit will be forfeited.

Employees must re-enroll during the appropriate election periods, if they wish to participate during subsequent years. Albany will notify us shortly as to the date of the first paycheck that will be impacted by the PEP credit.

Eligible employees may choose to participate in the Productivity Enhancement Program by completing the election form and submitting it by May 24, 2008 to:
