These pages will offer you the opportunity to voluntarily provide your veterans and disability status. Both surveys allow you to opt out if you do not wish to answer. Once you have completed these surveys’ you will not be asked to complete them again. Thank you for your cooperation.

Reminder From HR About CTO Maximums
The maximum amount of CTO (combined time off) that can be carried into the next fiscal year is capped at 24 days (see table below for maximum hourly equivalents). Any CTO in excess of 24 days will automatically be transferred into your SLR as of June 24, for pay period 13 (6/6/16 – 6/19/16). Please plan accordingly. In order to avoid confusion and ease planning for employees, the CTO max is applied to the last full pay period in June.
Throughout the year each employee is responsible for managing his/her CTO amounts within the applicable limits. Remember, if you allow your balance to reach maximum during any pay period except the final one of the fiscal year, your excess accrual does not automatically transfer to SLR –instead you will stop accruing and forfeit the un-accrued CTO time. Now is a good time to check your CTO balance in BannerWeb or a recent paycheck stub and plan your CTO use for the next few days and the upcoming fiscal year accordingly.
You may also transfer your own CTO at any time. When you report your time via BannerWeb, enter the number of hours you wish to transfer on the web time sheet in the row titled “Transfer CTO to SLR.”
CTO Maximum Amounts
| Date | CTO Maximum in Days | CTO Max. in hours for employees w/ scheduled 8 hour days | CTO Max. in hours for employees w/ scheduled 7.75 hour days |
| As of the last full pay period of June. | 24 | 192 | 186 |
| Any other time | 36 | 288 | 279 |
Coffee and Water Contracts
The Green Mountain Higher Education Consortium (GMHEC) members Champlain College, Middlebury College, and Saint Michael’s College, are continuing efforts to obtain cost savings for the three institutions while adding benefits for all. Recently, GMHEC went through a request for proposal for coffee and condiments. We received four proposals. After reviewing and vetting the proposals through a detailed process, we awarded the contract to W.B. Mason. This is the same company which was awarded the GMHEC Office Supply contract last year.
The contract gives Middlebury at least 15% savings on coffee and up to 58% on condiments with a 2 year price guarantee. For example, K-Cups cost only $10.24 per box and renting Keurig coffee machines (K140s and K150s) is free. Using W.B. Mason for both Office Supplies and Coffee/Condiments will simplify ordering for you and streamline the payment process for Accounts Payable.
To order coffee and condiments, please visit the W.B. Mason website. The pricing is reflected on the website. If you do not have a W.B. Mason account yet – please contact Matt Curran who will set you up with an account. Please refrain from ordering coffee and condiments (unless you order for dining) from other vendors such as Crystal Rock, Costco, Walmart, Amazon, etc.
To rent a coffee brewer, contact Jarrod Pulsifer, our W.B. Mason account executive, with information on which brewer you would like, the INDEX to charge it to, and the exact location where it will be (address, room number). It usually takes 3-5 business days to get the brewer installed.
For water coolers, the College is staying with Misty Meadows to support a small, local, family-owned business. If you need a plumbed-in water cooler, W.B. Mason is the vendor of choice though as Misty Meadows does not provide them (and your contact is Jarrod Pulsifer). For Misty Meadows contact information see the Purchasing website.
Please be mindful of the College’s policy that these types of items are only allowable with advance approval from your supervisor per the College’s handbook.
