This webpage outlines the approaches and procedures to temporarily stop or minimize employee salary and wage expenditures.<\/p>\n

If the need to temporarily stop or minimize salary and wage expenditures is emergent or unknown, contact your HR Consultant.<\/p>\n

It is important to begin the notification processes as soon as possible because furloughs and temporary layoffs require at least 7 days’ notice (UAW Research Scientist Engineers shall receive 30 calendar days’ written notice of temporary FTE reduction).<\/p>\n

Procedure<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Contact your HR Consultant. UWHR has developed streamlined processes for processing temporary FTE reductions and furloughs. After consultation, your HRC will provide you with a spreadsheet to complete.<\/li>\n
  2. Return your completed spreadsheet to your HR Consultant.<\/li>\n
  3. Your HR Consultant will review within two business days and confirm that bargaining unit-covered work is not going to an outside vendor and that the correct employees are being impacted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
