UC Employee-initiated Reduction in Time (ERIT) program
Colleagues:
UC is implementing a new program, the Employee-initiated Reduction in Time (ERIT) program, for the time period of July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012. UC ANR has elected to participate in this program with the stipulation that the approval must be made by the supervisor AND the head of the unit (Statewide Program Director, REC Director, CD, Support Unit Director, etc.).
This program is intended as an optional tool that locations and organizational units may offer to employees to address the current budget crisis. Under this program, eligible staff employees may voluntarily reduce their time and corresponding pay in exchange for certain advantages, such as accrual of vacation and sick leave at the employee’s pre-ERIT rates.
Program details and eligibility requirements are posted online at http://ucanr.org/erit.
Two specific points are important to highlight:
- First, this is a voluntary program that can only be initiated by employee request and supervisory approval.
- Second, unlike previous voluntary programs such as START, retirement service credit accrual will be based on the reduced percentage of time worked by the employee during program participation. This is the primary difference between this program and previous programs.
As in the past, this program is not open to Senior Management Group employees or academic employees.
With appropriate approvals, employees may sign up any time between July 1, 2011, and June 30, 2012.
For questions, you may contact the Staff Personnel Unit at anrstaffpersonnel@ucdavis.edu or call (530) 752-4540.
