Pay Plan Programs

In a 10/12 or 11/12 pay plan, you work for 10 months (10/12) or 11 months (11/12) and your pay for the 10 or 11 months you work is paid evenly, along with existing health benefits, over the 12-month period. Your pay is calculated using a formula that takes your current monthly salary and multiplies it by 10 (for 10/12) or 11 (for 11/12) and then divides that total by 12 months. 

Example: Your pre-furlough salary of $4,000 per month, changing to a 10/12 full-time position would yield a monthly gross salary of $3,333 ($4000 x 10 /12 = $3,333). This spreads your salary for your 10 months worked over a 12 month period and you receive a paycheck for each month, including your months off. 

The arrangement can vary, except that a schedule shall not provide for a period of time in non-work status that requires advance payment of salary. Therefore, you must work 5 months prior to taking 1 month off, or work at least 10 months prior to taking 2 months off. Below are two examples of a 10/12 pay plans that meet this timing requirement, without having to work the full 10 months before a two month period of non-work:

• "6-1:4-1" (work 6 months, 1 month off, work 4 months, 1month off)
• "7-1:3-1" (work 7 months, 1 month off, work 3 months, 1 month off)

The month(s) you designate as your period in non-work status must be approved by your HEERA manager and are subject to change based on operational needs of the university.

Requests for a permanent change to a pay plan must to be submitted to the HEERA manager for approval with final approval by your divisional Vice President.
