Employee-Initiated Reduction in Time (ERIT)
Program
Last Updated July 15, 2011
Program Summary
The Employee-Initiated Reduction in Time (ERIT) Program is a temporary tool that department heads, with the approval of their Principal Officer, may offer to their employees to achieve temporary salary savings.
In return for their voluntary reduction in time, participants will:
- Accrue vacation and sick leave credits at their rate accrued prior to participation in ERIT;
- Have their eligibility for health and welfare benefits (medical, dental, vision) not be affected by ERIT;
- Have their UC Retirement Plan (UCRP) contributions based on their reduced salary, and UCRP service credit will accrue based on their reduced appointment;
- Have other retirement benefits calculated based upon their pre-ERIT compensation rate as outlined within the proposed program guidelines.
Effective July 1, 2011 – June 30, 2012: Subject to departmental and supervisor approval, all eligible career staff employees (regular status and probationary), except Senior Management Group members, may voluntarily reduce their time from a minimum of 5% of full time to a maximum reduction of 50% of full-time as long as their work schedules are not reduced below 50% time in any given month of participation.
Note: For staff employees requesting participation in ERIT effective the first of any given month, the completed and approved ERIT contract forms must be received by SHR no later than the last working day of the month prior to the effective date. Questions about the program should be directed your HR Partner.
