HR Announcements

The Governor’s Office of Employee Relations (GOER) and United University Professions (UUP) announced the allocation of funds for Individual Development Awards (IDA) for activity between July 2, 2021 and July 1, 2022. 

On August 2, 2021, the new SUNY Telecommuting Policy was distributed to the University at Buffalo for implementation at the campus level. The policy has been officially extended by the New York State Governor’s Office of Employee Relations (GOER) through June 30, 2022 (March 31, 2022 for PEF-represented employees).

The SUNY Board of Trustees announced that UB will align the minimum wage with the levels approved in the New York state budget.  

The holidays are often a time to celebrate our accomplishments or express gratitude to those that help us throughout the year. Like much of 2021, we ask you to reimagine your holiday plans with an eye toward safety and mindful spending.

UB is strongly encouraging COVID-19 booster shots for those on campus who are eligible, but has not made them mandatory for students as it did with the initial round of vaccinations.

The university has updated and revised the Workplace Violence and Bullying Prevention Policy. The revised policy has been approved and signed by President Tripathi, and is available in the University Policy Library.
