Background

Chapter 113 of the Laws of 2008 implements the agreement between the State of New York and United University Professions (UUP) and provides for Discretionary Salary Increases for UUP BU08 employees. Payment of the increase is at the discretion of the College President and may be made to employees who are incumbents on the payroll on June 30, 2009.

Eligibility

Employees in BU08 must be Active or on an approved Leave on the eligibility date of 6/30/09 and on the date of payment.

OSC Actions

Agencies are required to complete UUP Discretionary Salary Increase rosters in EmpID order. The roster must be signed by the College President and forwarded to SUNY System Administration, which will forward it to OSC in an Excel file format. All Discretionary Salary Increases must be entered by SUNY through the Automated Interface in Pay Periods 16L and 17L. SUNY must ensure that the position salary information is updated prior to submitting these transactions.

To process the 1% increase for eligible employees, agencies must submit a Job Action Request transaction using the Action/Reason code of Pay Rate Change/SIC (Salary Increase).

For eligible employees with the Pay Basis Code of ANN or CYF, the Action/Reason code of Pay Rate Change/SIC (Salary Increase) must be submitted effective 7/1/09.

For eligible employees with the Pay Basis Code 21P or CYP, the Action/Reason code of Pay Rate Change/SIC (Salary Increase) must be submitted effective 8/20/09.

For eligible employees with the Pay Basis Code of CAL, the Action/Reason code of Pay Rate Change/SIC (Salary Increase) must be submitted effective 9/1/09.

Subsequent Rows

Agencies must submit Pay Rate Change transactions using the Action/Reason code of Pay Rate Change/CSL (Correct Salary) to update any subsequent rows that appear on the employee’s Job Data record, provided the employee remained in BU08.
