Dear Colleagues –
UUP members who accrue vacation days can lower their health care costs.
UUP’s Productivity Enhancement Program allows eligible UUP-represented employees to exchange previously accrued annual leave—otherwise known as vacation days—in return for a credit of up to $500. That money will be applied toward the employee’s share of NYSHIP premiums on a biweekly basis.
Eligible full-time employees who earn $62,998 or below, and eligible part-time employees whose biweekly salary is in this range who enroll in PEP would forfeit three days of annual leave in return for the credit.
Eligible full-time employees who earn more than $62,998 and below $90,022 and eligible part-time employees whose biweekly salary is within that range who enroll in the program will forfeit a total of two days of annual leave at the time of enrollment in return for a credit.
Please tell Your fellow UUP members about this important and underutilized plan.
Go to UUP’s website at http://uupinfo.org/negotiations/pdf/PEPfactsheet2015.pdf for more information.
In solidarity,
Fred
