Workforce Team Updates
Please take note of some very important announcements from our Workforce Team.
Self-Hired Employee Change of Status Forms
1. In order to capture self-hired employee changes in wages and/or hours you and or your support broker can complete and submit an Employee Change of Status form.
- To process the change of status form we must have the following on file:
- A recent and completed DSP evaluation (if increasing hours/wages).
- Ensure there is an approved budget with the new hours and/or wages requested.
- Please note that change of statuses take effect in the pay period of which the request is received should all required items be completed.
The form can be located in the SD section of our webpage.

2. Employee separation forms. Please note that when the Workforce Team receives an employee separation form the "last day worked" is the date utilized to remove the employee from all systems. We are unable to process PTO requests or any other employee-related requests once the employee is removed from all systems and past the "last day worked" date. If your support broker submits separation forms on your behalf ensure all parties are aware of the above information (i.e., broker, self-hired employee).
At our discretion, we may contact the self-hired employee to obtain additional employment opportunities or contact the circle dependent the circumstances of separation indicated on the form.
If you have any questions regarding the employee separation process please contact please email Coordinator of Workforce, Noemi Galvez at ngalvez@cfsny.org

SDS Families have all been contacted to advise whether your self-hired employee(s) drive or not. Regardless, if your self-hired employee(s) operate a motor vehicle or not we kindly ask you complete the questionnaire and indicate that they are not a driver. All self-hired employees will receive a formal "authorized to drive" or "not authorized to drive" notification.

4. Employee of the Month: The Workforce Committee is excited to announce the re-launch of the CFS Employee of the Month recognition program! Anyone – DSPs, supervisors, managers, or administrators – are eligible to be employee of the month. Anyone can submit a nomination on behalf of anyone, not just the employee’s supervisor.
By re-starting this process, we’re looking forward to hearing the innovative ways we’re supporting those we work with and all the great things that are going on across the organization! Winners will be announced each month and will win a $125 gift card. They will also be invited to an employee recognition celebration later in the year.
The nomination form website has all the criteria we’ll be considering when reviewing DSP submissions as well as for other staff. We thank you for taking the time to thoughtfully complete the form so we can best assess each nominated staff member.
