Where can I obtain information regarding the “Reduction-in-Force” (RIF/layoff) policy?
Regular staff members should contact their Human Resources Consultant at 734-647-2385. If you do not know who your Human Resources Consultant is, the Human Resources staff will be happy to direct your call to the appropriate Human Resources Consultant. Consultants provide assistance and guidance to staff members based on the staff member’s employing department. You may want to check the revised policy 201.72-0 Reduction in Force (Reg. etc.).pdf (50K) or 201.72-1 Reduction in Force (Instructional Staff).pdf (11K) to assist you in compiling questions to ask your Human Resources Consultant. Staff members may also want to take advantage of the counseling services available through the “Faculty & Staff Assistance Program”. They can be contacted at 734-998-7500 or visit their Web site http://www.umich.edu/~fasap/ Back to F.A.Q.
