Accounting for Time During Weather Closing

Employees are reminded that only "Essential Personnel" who were specifically called in to work during this week's weather closing will be paid for those hours actually worked.

If you reported to work, but were not required to do so, you must report the hours that you were here on your time sheet and will be paid only for those hours. If you were not required to be here but were already scheduled for vacation or were sick you must report your hours as vacation or sick.

If you were not "essential" and did not report to work you will record your time as "excused" and make a note in the comment section "Weather Day."

Supervisors must confirm with the Vice President or Provost for their area whether or not a person is considered "essential" before they approve time worked during the shutdown.

If you have any questions please contact the Payroll Office or Human Resources.

Sponsored by: The Institute for Electronic Arts and the Division of Expanded Media

Jeremy Wiles-Young is a recent graduate of CUNY: Brooklyn College, and recently participated in the group show "Chain Reaction" at the SIGNAL Gallery in Brooklyn. J

Jeremy's work follows his interest in technology, from digital to basic building materials, and how these can be (re)purposed to create social meaning with a focus on economic and political theory, future theory, open source software, and alternative modes of production.

During his residency Jeremy intends to focus on sound experiments. Inspired by percussion-focused music (i.e. Afro-Cuban), this project will utilize the tools available to create experimental time signatures and sequencing pieces.

More information and Jeremy's work can be found on his website: http://www.jeremywy.com/

The Institute for Electronic Art's Visiting Artist Program is sponsored in part by the NYS Council on the Arts with the support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the NYS Legislature.
