If a department changes a grant-funded position to general funds, does the employee occupying that position become eligible for the severance program?
A college/unit has the flexibility to change a grant-funded position to general funds on a temporary basis. This flexibility is allowed in an effort to bridge an employee until external funding is renewed. If a position is changed to general funds and the position is subsequently abolished, the employee is not eligible for severance if the funding change was effective for a period of less than six months. However, an employee who has been changed to general funds for a period equal to or greater than six months is eligible for severance.
