Amendment to New York State's "Megan's Law"
Under this law, one of three risk levels is assigned based on the offender's risk of
reoffending:
If Buffalo State receives any such notification from the DCJS, the campus community
will be notified of the sexual offender's presence on campus and the level of risk
assigned to the offender by the courts. The information will be disseminated to the
campus via the following:
Information on any DCJS notice received by the college will be available in the
University Police Department Office in Chase Hall. No notice has been received from the
DCJS to date.
The emeriti directory is being rebuilt, and we have contacted department chairs for assistance. Although current information for many retired faculty and staff is on file with Human Resource Management (HR), academic departments and offices often have more frequent contact with their retirees, and therefore have access to information unavailable in the personnel data system.
If your office keeps contact information for faculty and staff who have retired from your department, please share this information with HR, who will contact retirees to determine if they wish to be included in the new emeriti directory. Specifically, we are looking for name, rank at retirement, current address, and current telephone number. Please submit this information to earshesj@buffalostate.edu.
The printed directory will be distributed in November.
*Election Day and Lincoln's Birthday are "floating holidays" for all employees except
those represented by Council 82, who observe these days as fixed holidays; UUP-represented
employees observe Election Day on the day after Thanksgiving, Friday,
November 29. All other employees may arrange with their supervisors to take these
days off, or, if required to work (classes are in session), accrue compensatory time that
must be charged before the holiday recurs.
Employees who choose to work during Winter Pause must complete and return the Winter Pause Work Request Form. Department heads must complete the Department Staffing Plan Summary and submit the form to their dean, associate vice president, or vice president (next level in the chain of command) for approval.
What Will Happen?
Employees and students are asked to secure their offices and residence-hall rooms; take home plants, aquariums, and other temperature-sensitive items; and make certain that equipment and appliances, such as refrigerators, are cleaned out and unplugged. Plan ahead and take home all books and research materials that might be needed during this period of limited operations. Turn off or disconnect fax machines so messages do not accumulate. Turn off personal computers and printers. Please notify Campus Services, ext. 6111, of experiments in progress that may not be disturbed or moved during Winter Pause.
Snow removal will be limited to providing access for emergency vehicles and access to open buildings. Parking lots generally will not be plowed, and staff who opt to work are asked to park on Rockwell Road or in Lot S-1 (Science Building/Upton Hall) only.
Facilities
Rockwell Hall, to honor contractual commitments and to protect art exhibits.
Services
Employees may, at any time, sign up for direct deposit, which automatically deposits salary into designated checking and/or savings accounts at virtually any bank or credit union in the United States. Deposits may be directed to up to eight different accounts, and money is available the morning of payday.
Work-study and student-assistant paychecks scheduled for distribution on Wednesday, December 25 will be mailed to students at the addresses shown on their pay stubs. Students who wish to have their paychecks mailed to an alternative address must supply the Payroll Office with a self-addressed envelope by Wednesday, December 18. Supervisors should notify students that paychecks cannot be picked up during Winter Pause.

Employee Options
Campus Services employees should report to the Maintenance Service Center for assignments on scheduled work dates. Campus Services employees who wish to take time off during Winter Pause must submit vacation requests to their immediate supervisors.
Professional employees should review work plans with appropriate line officers in advance of Winter Pause.
For safety and security reasons, employees who work during Winter Pause may be asked to sign in and out with a University Police aide at entrances to buildings. In order to ensure that only authorized people are provided access to campus buildings, employees may be asked to show campus identification cards. Employees who wish to work and do not have current identification cards should obtain them from the SUNYCard Office in E. H. Butler Library before Winter Pause.
Employees not working during Winter Pause must charge appropriate leave accruals or request leave without pay. Approved compensatory time also may be used to cover absences during this period.
Please contact the Human Resource Management Office at ext. 4822 with questions regarding Winter Pause.
