  How to Upload Your Vaccination Card

  As previously mentioned in an HR broadcast email sent out on 5/27/2021 (Updated COVID-19 Pool Testing Procedures), HR was working with CTS to create a way to upload vaccination cards into HRETS (Human Resources Employee Tracking System). HRETS has been updated and employees are now able to upload their vaccination cards. Within HRETS, the vaccination card can be uploaded to your Employee Data Sheet (EDS).

  To upload your vaccination card, first scan and upload your vaccination card to your computer. If you already provided your vaccine information, you do not need to upload it into HRETS. To access HRETS and the EDS, please follow these steps:

  To access HRETS, please visit the Faculty And Staff website:

  1. Click on the Personnel and Employment Tab
  2. Click the HRETS Link
  3. Enter your PC user name and password to access HRETS.

  Once you access HRETS:

  1. Click on the Employee Datasheet​ link listed under the Personnel ETS Options (bottom left). Your own Employee Datasheet will open.
  2. Review all of your personal data listed under each tab to ensure that it’s correct and up-to-date (especially Demographics, Degree and Emergency Information). Please make sure to save your edits.
  3. Click the COVID Vaccine Document Tab
  4. Click Choose File and upload your vaccination card
  5. Please enter a file description
  6. Click Save File
     
     

  Don’t forget that once you provide proof, you are no longer required to participate in weekly surveillance testing during the summer. You also have the option to bring your vaccination card to the test site or show the Excelsior pass. The Excelsior pass is free to download.

  Individuals who are not fully vaccinated are required to test weekly. All employees who are not fully vaccinated and report to campus at least once a week are required to participate in testing as they have been.

  The Daily COVID Screening is still required to be completed on workdays/obligation days.

  Thank you for adhering to our health and safety requirements.

• UUP Salary Equity Study

  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 Purchase.

  The agreement between the State and UUP also includes using all of the DSI to address identified compression and inversion. The results of the analysis have been reviewed and considered in making decisions regarding distributing discretionary salary increases. In following the negotiated guidelines, and in an effort to be transparent, a summary of specific considerations made in the distribution of the entire pool dedicated to addressing identified compression and inversion can be accessed by reviewing the Campus Compression/Inversion Report Form on the Human Resources website.

  Employees who will receive salary increases will be notified via their campus email address on March 11, 2021. Increases for both the discretionary, merit-based awards and those based on the compression analysis will appear in paychecks dated March 17, 2021. The increases will be retroactive to July 1, 2020 for professional employees and employees with 12-month obligations, and September 1, 2020 for employees with academic year obligations.

  If you have any questions, please contact Human Resources at human.resources@purchase.edu.
