The Board of Regents has approved a temporary pay reduction and furlough program for most University employees. Labor Represented and Civil Service employees will receive unpaid furloughs with a bank of hours, which will occur in two six-month segments starting on July 1, so the hours can be taken in both the first and second half of the fiscal year. Faculty and P&A staff will have a temporary pay cut and receive an equivalent number of days off, which are only available during the pay-reduction period.
Employees who earn less than $60,000, graduate students, professionals in training (including postdoctoral associates and residents), H-1B and E-3 visa holders, faculty with a phased retirement agreement, and faculty on a sabbatical will be exempt from this program. In addition, the $2 extra per hour for essential staff on campus will end on June 21.
Further guidance, training materials, and additional resources for supervisors and employees will be made available from OHR in the near future. Additionally, MHSST-HR (Morrill Hall Shared Services Team) will share more details in the coming days.
If you have any questions about the temporary pay reduction and furlough program, you are welcome to contact Mary Stein (stein094@umn.edu).
