Effective October 30, 2023, the Office of the President (OP) issued the Employee-Initiated Reduction in Time (ERIT) Program and ERIT Contract. UCR uses ERIT as a flexible work resource for eligible employees and departments.

Eligible career staff (except Senior Management Group members) can request the department head’s approval to voluntarily reduce their current appointment percentage and corresponding pay, within specific limits, for certain specified advantages, such as accrual of vacation and sick leave at the employees’ pre-ERIT rates.
