• 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 a 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 Purchase College.

  The agreement between the State and UUP includes using 0.5% of the DSI to address identified compression and inversion. Campuses had the ability to use the full amount to address compression and inversion. The College President made the decision to use the full amount to address compression. DSI will be paid in the December 22, 2021, paycheck. Those that received DSI were notified by Human Resources. The summary of specific considerations made in the distribution of DSI can be viewed by clicking on the following link: 2021 Compression Report Form.

  If you should have any specific issues or concerns regarding the analysis completed at Purchase College, please contact Human Resources at human.resources@purchase.edu.

  How to Upload Your Vaccination Card

  The Human Resources Employee Tracking System has been updated and employees are 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, but you are subject to selection for random testing. 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.

  Thank you for adhering to our health and safety requirements.

Employee concerns can be addressed with the supervisor, sector VP, or Human Resources as appropriate and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

  If your telecommuting application needs to be amended due to a change in work duties you will need to submit a new one. The application is located on the HR Employment Forms website.
