[CCoE Notice] Employee Furlough Update

[Fritz Claydon]

CCE Faculty and Staff:

As an FYI, it is my understanding that our College staff will have the 
mandated  furlough day on May 28, 2010.
Drs. Claydon and Shattuck will be here on May 28 to comply with "campus 
offices staying open" on that date. Our college
is withdrawing from participation in New Student Orientation on May 28. 
June 1 is the first day of the summer semester
and classes will meet as scheduled.

It is also my understanding that at this time our College will NOT have 
voluntary furlough days in June and July as described below.

As more details emerge, information will be shared accordingly.

TO: All UH/UHS-Central Campus Employees
FROM: Dr. Carl Carlucci, Executive Vice President, Administration and 
Finance
DATE: April 13, 2010
SUBJECT: University of Houston Furlough Program 2010

 As a cost-saving measure necessitated by a statewide budget shortfall 
for fiscal year 2010, the University of Houston-Central Campus will 
implement a mandatory one-day unpaid furlough program.

We have made every effort to minimize impact on our people and avoid 
layoffs. This furlough program is a necessary step to comply with our 
budget reduction mandate.

Our full-time and part-time faculty and staff will be required to take 
one day of leave without pay during fiscal year 2010 under the Mandatory 
Furlough Program. Faculty may select their unpaid furlough day but will 
be required to take it no later than May 28, 2010. Staff members will be 
required to take either May 28, 2010 or June 1, 2010 as their unpaid 
furlough day.

Campus offices will remain open, and classes will not be affected by the 
furlough program. Supervisors are responsible for arranging appropriate 
staffing, and faculty members are required to take furlough during 
non-instructional days. If there is a significant scheduling conflict, 
your supervisor will contact Human Resources to discuss re-scheduling 
options.

NOTE: Employees with an annualized salary less than $30,000, H-1B Visa 
holders and 100 percent grant-sponsored employees are exempt from the 
furlough program.

In addition, the university will permit three voluntary furlough days 
for colleges and divisions to utilize to further support budget-cut 
initiatives within their areas. Voluntary furlough days, which require 
departmental approval, must be taken between June 1, 2010 and July 31, 2010.

During these challenging economic times, we must remain fully committed 
to the university's initiatives and maintain academic excellence. I 
commend our outstanding faculty and dedicated staff for your willingness 
to do what it takes to assist the university in minimizing the impact of 
our current budget constraints.

for additional guidelines and FAQs concerning the furlough program. This 
page will be updated frequently.

Thank you for your support,

Carl
