Dear Staff Member:
Over the past few months, a number of you have suggested
that you would welcome the ability to reduce your schedule in a way that would meet
personal needs and also allow for cost savings for the college. Now, we are offering
staff members an opportunity to propose schedule changes as part of our budget reduction
strategy. This program is purely voluntary and we are interested in hearing from
staff members who would like to volunteer to reduce their schedule on an ongoing
basis. In some cases, a job function may be able to be performed under an alternative,
reduced schedule. This might be a reduction in the hours you work per week (for example
four days instead of five, or, for hourly staff, a reduction in the hours worked
per day), or weeks you work per year, such as working 10 months instead of 12.
Anyone interested in considering such a reduction is
encouraged to speak with their supervisor. He or she will talk with you about the
possible impact of this reduction on your work responsibilities. Not all voluntary
reductions may be possible, but managers have been asked to submit their recommendations
and thoughts to the senior administrator in their area. If you are interested in
volunteering, please make an appointment to talk to your supervisor no later than
Friday, April 24.
All requests should detail the reduced schedule and
the timeframe for its implementation. Please consult with Kevin Kerwood in Human
Resources at ext. 2266 if you have questions about the impact of a reduction in hours
on your salary and benefits.
The senior administration will review all proposed voluntary
reductions in work schedule and determine which can be accepted by the end of June
2009. Your manager will communicate the outcome of this decision to you. If the proposed
change is approved, this will be also confirmed in letter from Human Resources, with
a confirmation of any impact the reduction in hours has on your pay and benefits. |
