Contract Resource Center

revised August 13, 2010

Welcome to the Contract Resource Center. This site provides links by topics to key provisions of the current PEF/State Contract. While the Contract is an excellent source of information, there are many other resources that help define the terms and conditions of employment for PEF Members. Hopefully this resource will prove useful both to PEF Leaders and Members in understanding their benefits and finding important information quickly and efficiently.
