KEY ADMINISTRATORS/KEY SUPPORT STAFF
SUBJECT: VERIP III
APPLICATION/ELECTION FORMS
The August 30, 1993 deadline for submitting VERIP III
applications has been extended. Applications will be accepted
from any previously notified eligible UCRP member who wishes to
apply. Applications should be submitted immediately by U.S. Mail
or via the Benefits Office, and will be processed on a first
come, first served basis.
Applications that are late in submission cannot be guaranteed
processing in time to meet the election deadline. Please note
the VERIP III election deadline remains firm. All forms and
documentation must be in the UC Benefit Programs Office,
300 Lakeside Drive, Oakland, Ca. 94612 no later than 5:00 p.m.,

Benefits Office, Ext. 42816 or the Medical Center Benefits
office, Ext 36709.
REAPPOINTMENT GUIDELINES
As of this date, we have not received final reappointment
guidelines from the Office of the President. Once final
guidelines are received, they will be distributed to each Vice
Chancellor/Director. We anticipate the guidelines will contain
many of the same provisions as with the VERIP I and II programs.
The current draft guidelines for the reappointment of Staff
employees stipulate that normally reappointment will not occur
prior to February 1, 1994.
In exceptional circumstances, an individual may be granted an
emergency reappointment beginning December 1, 1993 providing no
prior offer, promise or agreement of reappointment, either orally
or in writing has been made or accepted earlier than December 1,
1993.
You are reminded that the purpose of implementing VERIP III is to
effect workforce restructuring and downsizing in response to
major funding changes necessitated by the serious reduction in
State budgetary support for the University in 1993-94. To
achieve the salary savings which VERIP III is designed to
generate, the reappointment of VERIP III retirees should be
minimized to the extent practicable. However, given the sudden
changes that will occur as a result of VERIP III retirements, it
is recognized that some reappointments on a temporary and part-
time basis to meet business necessity will be in the best
interests of the University.
Reappointments require the approval of the Chancellor.
Department managers are requested to contact their Personnel
Services representative to coordinate requests for VERIP III
Staff reappointments.
