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 Office of Employee Relations (OER) through August 31, 2022.

State 10-month faculty members and state 10-month teaching and graduate assistants can expect to see extra health insurance deductions taken to cover the summer months prior to their last payroll check for the academic year.

State 10-month faculty members receiving a paycheck from September until June can request that their salary be paid throughout the year — over 26 pay periods instead of 21 pay periods.

Student employees who work during the summer and are not enrolled with at least six credit hours for the summer session can expect to see Social Security and Medicare withholding in their summer paychecks.

Eligible Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) employees can apply now for professional development funds for activity between July 2, 2021 and July 1, 2022.
