guidance in its entirety, understand its provisions, and adhere to its
requirements.  State employees must return attestations to Human Resource
Services (via hrs at plattsburgh.edu or to 912 Kehoe) upon return to campus.
Affiliates should return their attestation forms to their appropriate Human
Resource office.

This fall, mandatory COVID-19 testing will continue at Algonquin Hall. All
employees must participate in COVID-19 testing, once weekly, unless an
exemption is on file (see Testing Opt Out below).  We would like to bring
your attention to the following information regarding who must attend
testing and testing operations for this semester.


   -

   Who Must Attend. If you are reporting to work on campus to complete some
   or all of your work obligation and are an employee represented by CSEA,
   UUP, PBA and PEF you are subject to testing under specific Memorandums of
   Understanding (MOU) reached between SUNY and each bargaining unit.
   Management Confidential employees are also deemed subject to testing. As
   such, attendance is considered mandatory.
   -

   Testing Opt Out. Fully vaccinated employees (including auxiliary workers
   and vendors with a regular on-campus presence), who wish to disclose that
   they are fully vaccinated, will no longer have to participate in the
   campus’ weekly COVID-19 surveillance pool testing. In order to be exempt
   from testing, vaccinated employees will need to provide proof of
   vaccination via the Vaccination Attestation Form

   pick up your first home test kit at Algonquin Hall on Monday August 23 from
