Leave Accruals to Be Restored for October 13 Snowstorm
The New York State Civil Service Commission has approved the request for suspension of the attendance rules for state employees with work locations in Erie, Genesee, Niagara, and Orleans counties who were absent due to the storm on Friday, October 13, 2006.
This suspension applies only to full-day absences that were directly related to the storm. It does not apply to employees who were out on approved absences that were not storm-related, such as sick leave or scheduled vacation.
The Human Resource Management and Payroll offices will review the attendance reports filed by professional and management employees and the biweekly timesheets submitted by classified employees to restore vacation or personal leave charged for October 13. The changes will be reflected in the classified employee biweekly timesheets for the pay period ending December 13, and in the January 2007 attendance reports for professional and management employees.

Grant Allocation Committee Request for Proposals (RFP) Application
The Grant Allocation Committee has received a record number of applications for funding. Many applications are still requesting funds for food or refreshments. According to committee guidelines, approved funds may not be used to pay for food or refreshments. Requests of this nature will not be considered during committee deliberations.
Additionally, the committee has revised the "Applications" section of the RFP to include section "3F," which states:
If your department/organization received funding within the past two years by this committee, you must provide a report on the results of the past program and explain how the proposed program relates (if applicable) to the previously funded program. Applications that fall into this category and are received without this report on file may not be considered for funding.
