Letters from President Conway-Turner notifying UUP employees that they will receive a discretionary award were mailed on Wednesday, November 14. UUP employees who did not receive an award letter are reminded that they may appeal the decision by Monday, November 26, as follows:

Appeal Process
Any eligible faculty or professional staff member who is not notified by the president of an award by the designated date should assume that his or her name was not on the preliminary list. Employees not scheduled for an award, and employees dissatisfied with the amount of their award, may file an appeal with the Appeals Board. 

The Appeals Board includes the president, provost, vice presidents, CIO, deans, and other administrative staff members selected by the president. The board will consider written appeals of no more than 600 words. The board meets in closed session, and testimony or personal appeals are by invitation only.
 
Written appeals, addressed to the president, must be delivered to the President’s Office by 5:00 p.m. Monday, November 26. We encourage electronic submission of appeals to discrappeal@buffalostate.edu. Copies of the appeal must also be provided to the appropriate vice president, dean, director, and department chair.

Appeal candidates will be notified of the outcome of the appeal by Tuesday, December 4.

Discretionary awards will be reflected in the paychecks dated December 26, 2018.
