Human Resources : Reductions in Staff/Layoff
Reduction in Staff for Faculty (Teaching & Administrative)
The purpose of the Reduction in Staff for Faculty policy is to provide a uniform procedure for adjusting or reconfiguring the size of the college full-time staff holding faculty rank. The decision to implement a reduction in staff must not be made on the basis of an employee’s race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, disability, or political affiliation.
The complete Reduction in Staff for Faculty policy can be accessed in the VCCS POLICY MANUAL, Section 3.11.2 at http://www.vccs.edu/Portals/0/ContentAreas/PolicyManual/Sct3.pdf.

Restricted and Classified Employees

The decision to implement layoff must not be made on the basis of an employee’s race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, disability, or political affiliation.
