   RIF Regulation

   To insure that your site is following the RIF procedures view the RIF Regulation.  If an employee is informed 

   that they may be RIFd they must receive written notice from their administrator based on the RIF rubric.  This 

   applies to the M&O budget.   

 

   Employee positions funded by Deseg $ will be receiving RIF notice pending approval of the Deseg Budgets.  

   We are working on having these budgets approved as timely as possible so that we have a more realistic RIF 

   process and employees may know if they need to seek interviews for other positions available if they are

   funded by deseg $.
