to reduce a position’s FTE for a period up to twelve months. This form is to be completed by
the unit Chair/Supervisor, forwarded to the appropriate Dean/Vice President and submitted to
the Associate Vice President (AVP) for Human Resources (HR) for consideration.

Description:
I understand that reducing a benefits-eligible position to less than 75% time will impact the
University’s benefits contribution. A benefits-eligible position cannot be reduced to less than 50%
time and retain the position’s benefits-eligibility status. If there is a need to reduce a position to
less than 50% time, please contact HR at hrhelp@udel.edu to learn more about COBRA benefits
options. A temporary FTE reduction cannot be used to “hold” a position for a specific incumbent or
in any way circumvent the recruitment process.
