a. Reduction-in-Force (RIF)
A Reduction-in-Force occurs when positions in an agency or part of an agency are abolished and employees are removed from these abolished positions by either non-disciplinary separation from employment or through displacement into other positions.
Approved Reasons for Implementing a RIF? Loss of funding Closure of a facility Reduced workload Change in organizational structure Improvements in technology Outsourcing/Privatization
RIF Severance Package No Displacements
b. Voluntary Buy-out (VBO)
Cost savings measure Authorized by state statute Can be used to avoid a RIF
Provides additional severance benefits to some employees who voluntarily leave state service
