Reduced Responsibility
On occasion, some faculty members–who are responsible for funding all or part of their salary through external sources–may be temporarily unable to meet their funding obligation. When this happens, the faculty member is placed in Reduced Responsibility status.
While in Reduced Responsibility, the faculty member’s actual effort (FTE) is reduced, but their roster percent (contracted effort) is maintained in anticipation that they will return to full funding. UW’s Office of Research oversees the Reduced Responsibility policy and process. NOTE: faculty would not need to go into Reduced Responsibility if they are fully tenured.
Leave-Related FTE Changes
Academic personnel who have been approved for a partial leave of absence require a leave-related FTE change in Workday. Review relevant leave pages for details.
