The Overview
If you work in the professional service at SUNY, a new state law may change your paycheck. A state law signed in June adjusts salaries for certain incumbents in the professional service at the State University of New York (SUNY).
New York's S10648, which implements a salary-adjustment agreement between the state and a professional-service employee organization at SUNY and appropriates funds to carry it out, became law when Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) signed it June 5. United University Professions (UUP) reported that its members ratified a five-year contract with annual salary increases, according to a UUP release. The law took effect upon signing.
