10- and 9-Month Arrangements
Staff members working full time or an abbreviated schedule can apply annually to reduce a 12-month continuous work arrangement to either a 10- or 9-month
period of time each year where job duties and responsibilities permit. During the corresponding one or two months
leave, the employee retains eligibility for benefit plans. These arrangements work particularly well when staff
positions are in support of 9-month faculty appointments or in employing departments where there are fluctuating
work demands. At the end of the one or two months leave, the employee is expected to return to their full work
schedule and position.
