Dear Colleagues,
With the anticipated inclusion of DSI/Compression salary increases in the March 17th paychecks, I wanted to remind you that UUP Central is looking for your input with regards to the negotiated compression adjustment benefit.
I encourage you to use the UUP Intake Form at the link below to provide UUP Central with information or voice any questions or concerns you have about the 2020 salary compression adjustments called for in the 2016-22 NYS-UUP Contract. These adjustments constitute the second of four years of compression adjustments required by the contract.
This intake form is not to be used in lieu of contacting campus Human Resources with questions you may have about your specific circumstances. I am encouraging members who have such questions to contact Jamie Bluhm jlbluhm@buffalo.edu.
However, even if you speak to HR about your specific case, it is also important for UUP to know what members’ questions and concerns are.
Interested members to complete this form by April 1, 2021.
Information collected through this process will be viewed at the chapter and state levels of UUP. UUP Central will use it to address concerns that need immediate attention. They also will use this information to inform the next round of discussions with the State over possible refinements or adjustments to the 2021 salary compression analysis. Modifications to the process and methodology adopted in the second round were a direct result of the information members provided after the first round of salary compression adjustments.
I encourage you to communicate with UUP Central through this intake form as soon as possible. They will begin analyzing all information as it comes in.
