Employee-Initiated FTE Decrease Clause Samples

Employee-Initiated FTE Decrease. By mutual agreement with the manager, an employee may decrease FTE by up to 0.20 FTE without the position being posted. This provision is intended to address circumstances when an FTE decrease initiated by the employee would contribute to an employee’s retention, success, and satisfaction in their position. It is not intended to address FTE decreases initiated by the Employer. While this provision does allow an employee to initiate a request for FTE reduction and the Employer to agree to that reduction without job posting, if multiple employees initiate requests for FTE reduction at the same time, and the Employer cannot accommodate all of them, the Employer will grant the requests based on seniority so long as needs in the department can be met. The Employer shall notify the Union when it agrees to an FTE decrease under this section of the contract. Any reduction in FTE for an individual employee as a result of this article, is a permanent reduction in FTE for that employee. It is management’s discretion to determine where and if the reduced FTE is allocated in the rest of the department/worksite.
