HEO Labor/Management Committee & Resources

The HEO Labor/Management Committee is a contract-mandated committee established under the PSC–CUNY collective bargaining agreement to support Higher Education Officer (HEO) series staff. Each college maintains a committee composed of representatives appointed by both the PSC and the College President, with leadership alternating annually.

The committee serves as a collaborative forum to address matters related to HEO workload and compensation. It reviews concerns raised by HEO staff and provides non-binding recommendations to the College President. In addition, the committee plays a key role in the salary assignment differential process by reviewing and recommending applications to the College HEO (Screening) Committee.

More broadly, the committee acts as a resource for HEO employees by offering guidance and support on contract-related processes, including workload issues and differential requests, helping to ensure transparency, consistency, and fair consideration across the institution.

Application for Assignment Differential for Higher Education Series Employees

Assistants to HEO, HE Assistants, or HE Associates, who have completed one or more years of service at the top salary step in their respective salary schedules shall be eligible for a discretionary assignment differential of $ 2,500 to be added to their annual base salary, based upon excellence in performance or increased responsibilities within the title. Eligible employees may be nominated by their supervisor or may nominate themselves to receive the differential.

Workload Concerns – HEO Series

HEO Series employees who have concerns regarding their workload are encouraged to submit a Workload Concern Form to the College Labor Designee. Upon receipt, the College Labor Designee will review and forward the form, along with any supporting documentation, to the Chair of the Labor-Management Committee for appropriate review and follow-up. This process ensures that concerns are formally documented and addressed through the established labor-management framework.
