2021 CSEA PEP Enrollment

The 2021 Productivity Enhancement Program (PEP) allows eligible employees represented by CSEA to exchange vacation and/or personal leave for a credit to be applied toward their health insurance premium. The PEP Credit will be applied to biweekly paychecks issued between January 1st and December 31st of 2021.

The enrollment period for the 2021 calendar year is through November 30, 2020.
