FLEXIBLE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
QUESTIONS?TEMPE/POLYTECHNIC WEST |
The Flexible Employment Program (SPP 214) allows benefits-eligible classified, service professional and administrative employees who work 12 months a year and are paid a salary over this 12-month period (24 pay periods) to volunteer to reduce their time worked during the year. Time may be reduced from a minimum of one pay period (1/2 month) to a maximum of six pay periods (three months) with the approval of the appropriate administrative official.
The salary and FTE of these staff members is reduced proportionately. The reduced salary continues to be paid over the entire 12-month period, including during non-work periods as designated at the time of entry into the program. All benefit programs in which staff members are enrolled will continue uninterrupted.
However, some benefit programs such as retirement contributions and vacation and sick leave accruals may be reduced based on the proportionately reduced salary and/or FTE. Employee and university contributions, where applicable, are made at the appropriate premium or percentage of the proportionate reduced salary.
