Clarification on Leave Time for SUNY Niagara Golf Tournament and Other Events

We’ve received a few questions regarding the use of leave time for the upcoming SUNY Niagara Golf Tournament and other college-sponsored events. This topic was recently discussed and decided at Executive Council, and we’d like to provide the following clarification:

• If you are paying to participate in the Golf Tournament or any other event during your scheduled work hours, you must use your vacation/PTO or personal leave time to attend.

• If the College is covering the cost of your participation in an event held during working hours, you do not need to use leave time.

• If you are volunteering at a SUNY Niagara-sponsored event, you are not required to use leave accruals, regardless of when the event takes place.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to contact the Human Resources Office.
