Financial Action Plan: Human Resources Guidance

Hiring and compensation freezes have been lifted
We ask units to consider delaying hiring and compensation decisions until FY 2025 budget and staffing plans are finalized and approved.

For critical hiring and compensation needs prior to approval of these plans, units must work closely with Senior HR Partners for guidance. Consult with them before submitting MSS transactions, creating requisitions in the Talent applicant tracking system or entering information into the Office of Budget and Planning system.

Please allow additional time as we work diligently in partnership with units to review and process these critical requests.

Decisions Regarding Separation Processes
In the case of separations resulting from FY 2025 University budget reductions, whenever possible, University Staff employees will be provided a minimum notice period of 60 days to support their transitions.

In the coming days, Human Resources will add a question to job postings in the University job application system (Talent) to give applicants the option to indicate that they have been impacted by reductions in force/layoffs to help make hiring managers aware of these candidates.

Resources and support for separations: Leaving the UA.

Retirement Incentive Program
Following review and considering complications related to state laws, we are not currently pursuing a retirement incentive program. 

Retirement resources and programs:

• Retiring from the UA
• Retiring Faculty Resources
• CredibleMind: Retirement Topics
• Phased Retirement Program
• Retiree Accumulated Sick Leave (RASL)
