17 Salary statements (or employment notices)- The basic purpose is to give salary information to the employee for the upcoming year, while also assuring a position in the fall (the employee signs off and this prevents claiming unemployment during the summer). 18 Compensated Absences – This information is needed as part of the audit to isolate the cost of what is owed to each employee (based on contractual language) in the event they leave or retire from the BOCES. 19 If a certificate of substantial completion is issued for a capital project during the 2017 calendar year, the final cost report for the project is officially due during the 2017-18 school year. The last date that SED can accept final cost reports for projects certified as completed in 2016 (per the statute of limitations) is June 30, 2018. 20 Statute of limitation allows changes to be considered by SED only if they are received within one year of the close of the school year for which the data is submitted. For example, 2016-17 aid claim data must be amended by June 30, 2018. 21 Update plans first submitted to SED in 2002 by July 1st annually.
