[pps-news] FW: Furlough Exchange Program (FEP) Resources and Training Session 10-6-09

[Gabe Nwandu]

October 2, 2009

 

Dear Colleagues:

 

This message addresses three topics:  Modifications to FEP Forms and
Materials; information about the FEP training; and the availability of
furlough tracking sheets for academics.

 

FEP Forms and Materials:

 

New and updated materials related to the Furlough Exchange Program are
now available on the APO website
<http://academicpersonnel.ucr.edu/furloughs/> .  If you have completed
FEP requests using the previous forms, they are still valid and you DO
NOT need to revise your submissions or work-in-progress.  If you haven't
started a request, we ask that you please download the new forms and use
them.

 

The changes to the documents include:

*         References to timesheets have been removed;

*         Information about where to send requests that involve
unrestricted gifts has been added to the routing instructions;

*         An error in table 4, band 5, number of days exchanged and OPA
days available has been corrected from 8.5 to the correct 9.5 (to total
19 days);

*         The formatting and descriptions in the tables that describe
the variable rates that Partial-Year FEP participants must recharge have
been modified for clarity;

*         Deadline dates have been added to the guidelines; and

*         Routing information has been added at the end of the request
forms.

 

 

FEP Training:

 

A Furlough Exchange Program training session for FAOs/MSOs and payroll
preparers will be held on Tuesday, October 6th from 9:30 - 11:30 AM.
The program agenda is:

 

Furlough Exchange Program Overview - Antonette Toney

 

FEP Forms and Examples - Karen Hruby

 

Office of Research Review - Charles Greer

 

PPS Guidelines - Gabe Nwandu

 

Q&A

 

The meeting will be held in HMNSS 1500 (same room as PPS Users group
usually meets).  Please assist us by doing the following:

 

1.    Send any questions that you would like to see addressed to us at: 
APOmail at ucr.edu. 

2.    Print and bring with you the FEP request forms, the guidelines,
and (optionally) the example tables all found at the APO website.

 

Furlough Tracking for Academics

 

UCR has adapted a worksheet that UC Berkeley is providing to their
departments to track academic furlough days. We have been advised by
UCOP that the tracking of furlough leave taken for academics is
required.  However, the use of this worksheet is optional and is not
required by APO or the FEP program.  Departments are responsible for
tracking furlough leave taken for their academic employees.

 

The worksheet is located on the APO website in the Furlough Section in
the subsection labeled UCR Furlough/Salary Reduction Plan Resources.
The Excel Workbook has two worksheets - on for you to modify for your
own use and one that contains a few examples. In addition, there are
written guidelines for using the worksheet. 

 

PLEASE NOTE:  This worksheet is for use with academic who are not
participating in the Furlough Exchange Program.  If we have a large
enough group of faculty who participate in the Furlough Exchange
Program, we will further modify the worksheet for use in those
situations.  

 

 

Best Regards,
