In direct response to this challenging budget environment, we are announcing a new program:
Reduce Employment Costs through Employee Salary Savings (RECESS).
This program allows full-time, non-represented staff and faculty, with the approval of their unit, to temporarily reduce their work percentage to as low as 50 percent while maintaining their health and dental care subsidy at 100 percent. This program will simultaneously help the University address the budget challenge and provide added incentive and support for those employees who are interested in assuming a reduced work schedule.
