Recruitment of New Employees:
The Research Foundation of State University of
New York is committed to affirmative action and
each campus establishes a recruitment process
that promotes affirmative action yet provides
the flexibility needed to carry out sponsored
project activities. In conjunction with the Office
of Affirmative Action we have established guidelines
for recruiting employees.
When is an employment
search process not required?
A search process is not required for student
employees, personnel identified in the project
proposal and for those appointments that are less
than one year.
Employee classification
and compensation
The Research Foundation establishes
classification and compensation standards. The
position description provided by the project director
is used to determine the appropriate Research Foundation classification. Each position falls within specific salary ranges that are used to establish the appropriate compensation level for a position. The Research
Foundation Personnel/Payroll Office and the Associate Vice President for Research Administration will work with you on proper
classification and compensation levels.
Advertising the position
vacancy
Project directors are encouraged to advertise
position vacancies in local and regional papers,
professional magazines and organizations. The
cost for advertising is usually an allowable charge
to a sponsored project. All notices of position
vacancies are distributed by the Research Foundation
Personnel/Payroll Office to locations throughout
the campus and to local job service and employment
agencies. Vacancies are also published on the Research Website on the link RF Jobs.
Affirmative action:
The Research Foundation "Statement of Policy"
states in part "It is the policy of the Research
Foundation of State University of New York to
provide equal opportunity in employment; and to
participate in the promotion of the full realization
of equal employment opportunity through a positive,
continuing program for the University as a whole
and for each constituent unit and affiliated organization
of the University as it relates to the Research
Foundation." The responsibility for insuring
proper recruitment of new employees and fair and
equal treatment of existing employees is a collaborative
effort between the project directors, Sponsored
Funds Administration and Affirmative Action.
The President of the University has designated
the Director of Affirmative Action and as the
contact for issues relating to complaints of discrimination
and harassment of or from Research Foundation
employees. In all matters, confidentiality will
be maintained to the fullest extent possible.
The Affirmative Action Office is located in LS-G663, telephone 777-4775. |
