Faculty in the Department of Medicine may have options for part-time work, if desired and approved by their Division and Department. A general overview of options for part-time work organized by series is provided in the tables below. For example, faculty in non-Senate series (e.g., HS Clinical, Adjunct) who participate in the Health Sciences Compensation Plan may request part-time appointment percentages of 51-100%. Appointments in Academic Senate Series (e.g., Clinical X, Ladder Rank or In Residence) are required to be at 100% effort; however, these appointments may be temporarily reduced under special circumstances. These include major childcare responsibilities (birth or non-birth parent), faculty’s own serious health conditions, care for a close family member who is seriously ill, bereavement of a close family member, or other family needs as approved. In those situations, a temporary reduction in effort up to five years in duration may be requested. Effort is generally still at least 51% unless medically necessary. Part-time work may have ramifications for benefits such as vacation and pension credit accrual and your departmental benefits manager may be helpful in clarifying those effects. Faculty working at 51% or greater effort remain members of the Compensation Plan and are bound by all of its terms and conditions, including those governing outside professional activities.
