ANR has received approval to implement the Furlough Exchange Program (FEP) for Cooperative Extension (CE) advisors and non-campus-based CE specialists who are subject to the Salary Reduction/Furlough Plan. The FEP allows eligible ANR academics to devote extra effort to research projects instead of using furlough time. In exchange for not being furloughed, individuals may charge an equivalent amount of effort to extramural funding, subject to granting agency approval. Individuals may elect to begin FEP on Jan. 1, 2010.
Individuals who elect to participate in this program will forfeit their furlough days and therefore will be expected to work during ANR/campus closures. During the period of FEP participation, furlough days forfeited may not be used for any other purpose, including additional consulting days.
Implementation guidelines and the form that must be completed and approved are at http://groups.ucanr.org/Academic_Personnel/Furlough_Information/.
