The University of Nebraska’s Voluntary FTE Reduction Program has been revised and will take effect October 3, 2025. The program gives eligible full-time Office/Service and Managerial/Professional employees the option to voluntarily reduce their work hours and pay (to no less than 0.75 FTE) while continuing to receive full-time benefits.

The updated policy includes two (2) key enhancements:

  • Flexibility: Employees may now request a voluntary FTE reduction more than once during their employment.
  • Expanded Eligibility: All regular, full-time employees who have completed their probationary period are now eligible to participate.

These updates reflect the University’s commitment to supporting work-life balance and employee well-being across all career stages.

Employees interested in learning more should contact Human Resources or visit the HR website to review the full policy.
