SUNY Telecommuting Policy - Clarification

[Human Resource Services]

This message is to clarify that all currently approved Telecommuting plans
have an expiration date of January 28, 2022.  Although the program has been
extended, an approved renewal application is required for anyone to
participate in this program beyond January 28th.



SUNY’s pilot Telecommuting Program has been extended through March 31, 2022
for PEF employees and June 30, 2022 for all other employees, with no other
changes.  The original program information is below.

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.
