Implementing SESiS

As we continue arbitration hearings on our grievance to force the DOE to provide a sound and reasonable plan for implementing the Special Education Student Information System (SESIS), pleaseurge your members to document all of the work that they do on SESIS before and after their workday and/or their duty-free lunch. The union is asking that employees who have had to work beyond their normal workday be paid for their time. If the union succeeds, members may need to provide proof of the additional time they worked in order to get paid. Hang on to this documentation until the union requests it. This union-initiated grievance, along with our improper practice charge filed with the New York State Public Employment Relations Board (PERB), seek to force the DOE to provide the equipment, time, training and support that our members need to do work involving SESIS.
