Online Benefits Orientation for Faculty and Professionals
presented by
Human Resource Management

Because Buffalo State College is a public institution in the State University of New York (SUNY) system, benefits are provided through both New York State and union representation.  Faculty and professional staff are represented by United University Professions (UUP).

Please review the benefits available under "Orientation Links" beginning with health insurance and continuing through campus information and policies.  Benefit descriptions, eligibility requirements, effective dates, and costs are detailed.  Forms are also available from these pages.

When you have finished the online orientation, please complete the checklist to acknowledge you have reviewed the benefits and completed any forms.  Print, sign, and submit the checklist along with all other forms to the Employee Benefits Office, CLEV 410, within 30 days of your appointment. 

We hope this online overview is convenient for you to use and is helpful in giving you the information you're looking for. 

You will receive a new employee packet and an invitation to attend an orientation session where we will explain your benefits, give you the opportunity to ask questions, and allow time for you to complete your benefit enrollment forms.  Although the benefit information presented in the orientation session is available online, you may still choose to attend an orientation session in person.

If you have any questions or would like to attend an orientation session, please contact the Employee Benefits staff at 878-4821 or at kravitll@buffalostate.edu.
