Furlough Implementation Roll Out Plans |
|---|---|---|---|---|
12 month (A-basis) |
Mandatory 8 days of furlough. Pay reduced for each day of furlough taken.
|
FTO taken must equal 8 hours per week (taken in no less than 2-hour increments per day). In a week FTO is taken, the hours in pay status (e.g., hours worked, vacation hours) cannot exceed 32 hours for total time for an FTO week not to exceed 40 hours. Both FTO and hours in pay status need to be reported on the furlough time report. |
$36,000 12-month salary $1,103.36 = 8 days of furlough salary reduction |
Staff will start accruing and taking furlough days as of July 1, 2009 |
9 month (C-basis) |
Mandatory 6 days of furlough. Pay reduced for each day of furlough taken. |
FTO taken must equal 8 hours
per week (taken in no less than 2-hour increments per day). |
$36,000 9-month salary $1,103.52 = 6 days of furlough salary reduction |
Staff will start accruing and taking furlough days with the start of the C-basis pay period. |
Summer Support |
Mandatory 2 days of furlough for those working full-time for 8 weeks. 2 days (16 hours) equates to 3.065% reduction. If work more than 8 weeks no additional furlough days are required. If work less than 8 weeks, mandated furlough days will be pro-rated. |
Will need to report when FTO is taken on the furlough time report. Use and report FTO in no less than 4 hour increments. No more than 8 hours
of FTO may be taken in one week.
|
$8,000 summer support salary $245.20 = summer support salary reduction |
Summer support payments processed in July that include both June and July “work” days will have the 3.065% reduction applied to the July days only. |
Lump Sum |
Lump sum payment will be decreased by 3.065%. No furlough time off generated. |
No reporting requirement. |
$3,000 gross lump sum |
Summer support lump sum payments made from appointments with a lump sum salary basis that includes both pre-July 1 and July 1 forward “work” days will be processed separately. The 3.065% reduction will be applied to the July days only. |
| Hourly Academic Staff | Eligible HOURS will be reduced by 3.065%. |
Supervisors must keep track of hours reduced. |
