How will the Plan affect part-time employees?
Part-time employees will be allotted furlough days and have their salary reduced in proportion to their full-time equivalent salary. For example, an employee who has a 60% appointment and earns $60,000 per year ($100,000 full-time equivalent) is within Salary Band 5 that allots 21 furlough days and an 8% salary reduction, so the employee will receive 12.6 furlough days and a $4,800 salary reduction (8% of $60,000).

How will the Plan affect benefits eligibility for part-time employees? Will those career employees currently at 50 percent time fall to a lower benefit eligibility level and lose their UCRP vesting?
Benefits eligibility will not be negatively impacted by the Plan consistent with how START participants' benefits are protected. By implementing the furlough through crediting of furlough days and a corresponding reduction in pay, employees time worked will not be reduced in the payroll system. (7/21/09)
