All announcements

To protect the health of our employees we are currently forgoing any face to face meetings and training sessions with our Retirement Plan investment providers. You can request a virtual meeting or phone consolation with your provider.  Below is information on how to contact each retirement system and set up a meeting.  If you already had a meeting scheduled the provider should have reached out to you directly to make accommodations to meet virtually. 

Optional Retirement Program (ORP)

The collective bargaining agreement between the State and UUP, allows employees to waive holiday compensation for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's.
 

Employee Retirement System (ERS) members can view their statement online for 2020 instead of waiting for it to be mailed to your home!  Member statements are through March 31 and should be ready to view online in May instead of waiting to June or July to receive it in the mail.  It is important to receive and review your statement once a year.

The collective bargaining agreements between the State and CSEA, NYSCOPBA, PBANYS, and PEF allow employees to waive holiday compensation.

The Empire Plan is doing all they can to support its enrollees through this unprecedented time and has introduced a new telehealth benefit to help them access health care services remotely. LiveHealth Online lets enrollees stay home and have a video visit with a board-certified doctor or licensed therapist on their smartphone, tablet or personal computer.

Memorandums of Agreement (MOAs) between GOER and the CSEA and PEF Unions have been signed to grant relief from contractual limits on vacation maximums because of staffing needs resulting from the State’s response to the Novel Coronavirus COVID-19.

The MOAs allows eligible employees, CSEA and PEF, to carry vacation credits in excess of the 40-day maximum that would otherwise be forfeited on April 1, 2020 until December 31, 2020.  

In accordance with guidelines provided by Governor Cuomo, the New York State health department, and the State University of New York (SUNY) Chancellor's office, SUNY Oswego continues to take steps to minimize COVID19 exposure. 

At this time, we are suspending job searches as we work together to minimize the exposure to COVID19. The health and safety of our candidates and our community remain our utmost priority.

Dependent Care Account (DCAA) helps with expenses for elder care, disabled dependent care, or child care expenses. If you are already enrolled for 2020, but do not currently have these expenses due to your child not being in school or child care, you can change your deductions.

Operations at the SUNY Oswego Human Resource and Payroll offices are being handled remotely as a precautionary measure due to the current COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic.

 Email is the most reliable form of communication to ensure we receive and respond to your inquiry in a timely manner.  Please email Human Resources at [email protected] and/or Payroll at [email protected].

We have been notified by the Office of the State Comptroller that due to the current COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic, all paychecks and direct deposit advices will be mailed home directly from The Treasury to the address printed on the front of your check. This change is effective with the next check beginning March 26, 2020 which is Student Assistant and Work Study payday. All paychecks and direct deposit advices for Students, Staff and Faculty will also be mailed this way until further notice
