Who should be classified as geographic full-time?
A faculty member must be classified as geographic full-time (GFT) if he/she is a full-time UMB faculty member and is a practicing clinician who is eligible to be paid directly by the practice plan or the VA to make up their full compensation. Classifying as GFT=YES on the Faculty Appointment Information Sheet (FAIS) and the eUMB action form entitles the faculty member to full-time University benefits as long as a portion of the pay is paid through the eUMB system (UMB Campus accounts). If, at some point, the faculty member formally changes status to true part-time faculty appointment, the GFT status should be revised to GFT=NO on the FAIS and the eUMB action form. Non-clinicians are not eligible for GFT status.
