Announcements

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.

If you have previously applied for a position, please check your applicant account in Interview Exchange for further information. Kindly note your candidacy will not be negatively affected during the hiatus.

We value your interest in employment at SUNY Oswego and will update this notification as further information becomes available.

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. Please go to the following website and submit a ‘change in status’ application.   Once your child is back in school or daycare, you can restart your deductions by filing another ‘change is status’ application.  You have 60 days from the day of the event to make any changes.  You can also call the Flex Spending Account hotline at 800-358-7202 if you need help with the changes.  

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 hr@oswego.edu and/or Payroll at payroll@oswego.edu.

 If you choose to call our offices, you can reach Human Resources at 315-312-2230 and Payroll at 315-312-2227.  Please leave a detailed message so that we can best respond to your inquiry as we will be checking messages regularly.

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

The NYS & CSEA Partnership for Education and Training is pleased to announce four new online learning certificate programs for CSEA-represented New York State employees. These four certificate programs will also serve as the alternatives to the four mandatory in-person courses required for the new Administrative Assistant Traineeship.

The Customer Service Certificate Program provides a self-directed way for employees to acquire useful tips for working effectively with customers.

The Microsoft Word 2016 Basics Certificate Program is a learning opportunity for employees who are looking to develop their skills in the Microsoft Word application.

As a reminder, SUNY Oswego employees can access the Human Resources Self-Service module which allows employees to update personnel information via the SUNY HR portal (same system used for time and attendance). It is a good time of year to take a look at your information and make any necessary updates!

During negotiations for the 2016-2022 State/UUP Agreement, the parties agreed to develop guidelines and a methodology for a salary equity study to be conducted at each campus. The purpose of such study is to identify compression and inversion for UUP-represented employees. Salary inversion may exist when new employees are hired at salaries higher than experienced employees; compression may exist when salaries of experienced employees fail to maintain distance above salaries of new employees.

A State/SUNY/UUP executive-level committee developed guidelines and a methodology to analyze and identify the extent of salary compression and inversion, and the adopted guidelines and methodology have been utilized at SUNY Oswego.
