Download the Productivity Enchancement Program (PEP) Election Form

The Productivity Enhancement Program (PEP) allows eligible SUNY M/C 13 employees to exchange previously accrued annual leave (vacation) in return for a credit to be applied toward the employee share of NYSHIP premiums on a bi-weekly basis.

During calendar year 2012, full-time employees who enroll in this program will forfeit a total of either 3.0 days of annual leave for a credit of $500 ($19.23 bi-weekly) or 6 days for a credit of $1000 ($38.46 bi-weekly.) This credit will be applied towards the bi-weekly health insurance premium and will be reflected in the paychecks issued from January 4, 2012 through December 19, 2012. Eligible part-time employees may elect to participate on a pro-rated basis in accordance with their employment percentage.
