Faculty and Staff - August 25, 2020

Dear Colleagues: 

As I mentioned was likely in my message to faculty/staff yesterday, the Winthrop University Board of Trustees voted unanimously today to implement the Winthrop University Mandatory Furlough Plan for the 2020-21 fiscal year.

This plan will take effect Sept. 1, 2020, and it is available in full, along with a set of FAQs that has been developed to assist employees in understanding more about the plan and its impact on them, at this link:

Furlough Details 2020-21

This email fulfills the mandatory furlough notice that employees must receive at least seven days before the Winthrop University Mandatory Furlough Plan for the 2020-21 fiscal year goes into effect.

For questions not answered in the plan and FAQ responses, please contact hrhelp@winthrop.edu.  

Once again, I appreciate your patience as we have worked to create a plan that will keep the workforce intact while generating crucial funds needed during this difficult and unsettled time.

Sincerely,
George

George W. Hynd
Interim President
