Employees put on a Reduction in Force notification and are not working during their designated timeframe (30 or 90 days) need to report the new time reporting code “RIF”. If an employee is working through the notification period, time should be recorded as normal using “REG” for worked hours, plus all other appropriate codes. Shift premium if applicable is paid on RIF hours. During the notification period, PTO will still accrue as normal.

See the Reduction in Force Standard Practice Guide for more information. https://spg.umich.edu/policy/201.72

Please make sure employees are aware to contact their supervisor or department timekeeper regarding questions about paychecks, leave balances, and time reporting. The Michigan Medicine Payroll Office can only help with general questions, and the employee’s supervisor is the authorized signer on what should be paid out. We are happy to assist supervisors and timekeepers with answering questions, too, as much as possible. Thank you for your support!
