Discretionary payments, are to be used to recognize performance of members of the professional services negotiating unit. Each appointing authority is obligated to certify that all discretionary payments granted for 7/1/13 6/30/14, 7/1/14-6/30/15, 7/1/15-6/30/16 and 7/1/16-6/30/17 are implemented. Discretionary payments are not added to base salaries. However, pursuant to Section of the Agreement between the State University of New York and United University Professions (which will be re-numbered to in the new agreement when ratified), the discretionary amounts are not precluded from being added to basic annual salary for specific employees. In such limited cases, the discretionary amounts would become effective retroactive to July 1 for employees having a calendar year or college year obligation and retroactive to September 1 for employees having an academic year obligation. Discretionary Adjustments: The discretionary payments for each of these years are scheduled for payment no later than December 31 following the conclusion of the prior performance program year. These payments are to be made from pools established in the campus budgets. To be eligible to receive one of these discretionary payments, an employee must be on the payroll on 7/1/13, 7/1/14, 7/1/15 or 7/1/16, as appropriate and on the payroll when the payments are made. Persons on leave from such positions, but continuing in UUP service in accordance with the terms of the contract, may be considered for discretionary payments.

In each year of the discretionary payments, 28% of the total pool will be earmarked for distribution to part-time employees. Each campus will receive an allocation of the 28% from the total of the basic annual salaries equivalent to their actual percentage of the part-time population as of the June 30 th pool determination.

5 Board Resolution -5- July 16, 2013 The Chancellor s Power of SUNY Performance Incentive payment in the amount of $500 in 2013, $250 in 2014, and $500 in 2015 would be added to the basic annual salary as of June 30 th for that year and is distributed at the discretion of the Chancellor. The increases are scheduled for payment no later than December 31 following the conclusion of the prior performance program year. To be eligible for this increase, an employee must be on the payroll on July 1, 2013,, or, as applicable, and on the payroll when the payments are made. Payments are made retroactively to July 1 for employees having a calendar year or college year obligation, and retroactively to September 1 for employees having an academic year obligation.

Incumbents who have worked at least one semester during the 12 month period prior to the effective date of payment and whose service ends prior to 6/30/13, 6/30/14, or 6/30/15 shall be eligible for the payment if they are re-employed and active on the payroll on the effective date of the payment and at the time of payment. Exception Policy: In an extraordinary circumstance, campuses are able to exceed the salary maxima for an individual employee. The authority to approve an exception resides with the campus president and is not delegable to any other officer. An exception to the maxima must be reported to the University-wide Human Resource Office, including the rationale and documentation for the exception. While there is no predetermined limit on exceptions, it should be understood that this procedure is expected to be used only in exceptional cases. This procedure should not be used to increase the salary of a long-time employee who has reached the top of the rank or salary level. An individual s State salary may not exceed that of the campus president without prior approval by the Chancellor. Funding: Campuses will create a discretionary pool of one-half percent (.5%) for , , , and one percent (1%) for fiscal years. Amounts expended beyond those pool totals will be borne by the campus-operating budget. When verifying the campus pool totals, funding sources should be identified as State Purpose, Income Fund Reimbursable, Dormitory Income Fund Reimbursable, or Hospital Income Fund Reimbursable. Although campuses are authorized to spend pool dollars, State reimbursement will be only for the State Purpose portion of the salaries. Rosters: Discretionary payments should be reported on a roster to University-wide Human Resources. The format of the rosters will be provided prior to the date on which payments will be made.
