Remote applicants please be aware that the University is required to withhold New York state income taxes from your wages, as well as the state income tax, if applicable, in the state where you perform services. This is because of New York’s “convenience of the employer” rule, which requires the University, as a New York employer, to withhold New York income tax from the wages of its employees working outside of New York if the employee’s work is performed outside of New York for the convenience of the employee, rather than out of a business necessity of the University.
