[Important Information for Employees] SUNY Telecommuting Policy

[Sarah Reyell]

SUNY has created a pilot Telecommuting Program for campuses to implement
effective immediately and ending December 31, 2021, unless extended by
SUNY.  Telecommuting is not an employee entitlement and is not
operationally feasible for many job functions.  Determining which job
functions are eligible for telecommuting is subject to management
discretion, based on operational need.

Telecommuting is an alternate work arrangement that allows employees to
conduct some of their work away from the official work site.  Under the
Telecommuting Program, employees will be expected to have a regular
in-person presence at the official work location.  Employees should not
expect to be approved to telecommute on a full-time or near full-time
basis.  The number of days and which days an individual employee may be
allowed to telecommute is determined by management based on operational
need.  However, the maximum allowable days per pay period that may be
approved for telecommuting is five (5) workdays and in no event will an
employee telecommute for their full obligation.

Anyone contemplating enrollment should read the policy
<https://www.plattsburgh.edu/_documents/human-resources/sunywide-telecommuting-program-08022021.pdf>
in its entirety.  Every application will be considered on an individual
basis.

To request to participate, an interested employee must submit a
completed Telecommuting
Application and Work Plan
<https://www.plattsburgh.edu/_documents/human-resources/suny-telecommuting-application-and-workplan-fillable.pdf>
to their immediate supervisor.  Final approval rests with the Vice
President.
