The enrollment period for the 2018 PEP program will be from Monday, October 2 through Monday, November 6, 2017. 

The Productivity Enhancement Program (PEP) for 2018 allows eligible employees to exchange previously accrued annual leave (vacation) for a credit to be applied toward their employee share NYSHIP premiums on a biweekly basis.

Eligible full-time employees who enroll in PEP for the 2018 plan year will forfeit annual leave at the time of enrollment in return for a credit to be applied toward the employee-share of their NYSHIP premiums, in accordance with PEP guidelines for their enrollment group (e.g., PEF, CSEA, M/C).

Eligible part-time employees who enroll in PEP will forfeit annual leave on a pro-rated basis in accordance with their payroll/employment percentage in return for a pro-rated credit, and in accordance with the PEP guidelines for their employment group. In no case can the credit available under the program be applied to the employer share of NYSHIP premiums.

Please see the attached PEP summaries and enrollment forms.
