Summer Hours begins 05/13/2013 & Alternative Work Schedule
begins
05/16/2013
SUMMER HOURS: May 13 - August 16, 2013
SUNYIT will begin its summer work schedule (8:00 a.m. -
4:00 p.m.,
with a half-hour lunch) on Monday, May 13, 2013. The seasonal
change in
hours does not alter any employee's duties or obligations as may
be
contained in any law or negotiated agreements. In addition,
employees
will be allowed to dress in a more casual, but professional,
business
attire during this period. The Cabinet will address with their
respective directors and unit heads the appropriate dress
standards for
their functional areas. If you have any questions, consult your
Vice
President/Provost or Director.
ALTERNATIVE WORK SCHEDULE: May 16 – August 14,
2013
The college will also initiate an “alternative work
schedule”
from Thursday, May 16, 2013 through Wednesday, August 14, 2013.
In an
effort to save scarce resources, five work days will be “compressed”
into a four and one-half work days a week. Employees will be
required to
work the “core hours” of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with
a
half-hour for lunch on Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to
noon on
Friday with no lunch break. The balance of the work week should
be
arranged with your respective director or unit head
using “flex
time” or a charge to your accruals.
During the “alternative work schedule” time
period, it
is expected that each office will be staffed by at least one
professional or classified staff member during the “core
hours”
of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m.
to noon
on Friday.
On the two days following the summer alternative work
schedule
(Thursday, August 15 and Friday, August 16, 2013), we will
resume the
summer hours of 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., with a half-hour lunch to
finish
out the week.
PLEASE NOTE:The campus will be hosting new
students at
Orientation programs during this time. All offices that serve
students
will be expected to extend their hours to accommodate these
program
dates and times. Any modification to office hours during these
program
dates must be approved by your supervisor.
•Thursday, June 6 (day program)
•Thursday, July 11 (evening program)
•Friday, August 16 (day program)
Employees who are unable to participate in this program, or
who
have special circumstances which affect their full participation
in the
program, should discuss this matter with their immediate
supervisors.
The supervisor must contact the Office of Human Resources as
soon as
possible to review options. Special accommodations can be made,
which
include providing an alternative work site for those who need to
work
five days a week.
We greatly appreciate your support of SUNYIT’s
efforts to
economize.
