| General Information: | Used to place employee on a short work break with pending legal action or employee relations determination (to preclude a Termination action). Eligibility includes Permanent FT, Probationary FT, Part-time Intermittent, Hourly. This action stops all payroll activity, including the deductions for benefits coverage. The inactive pay status assigned to employees on a short work break is transmitted on a daily basis to benefits carriers who will suspend or cancel benefits eligibility. Campuses must ensure that the impact on benefits status is appropriate when placing an employee on a Short Work Break. If an employee pays benefit premiums (employee share and state share amount) directly to a carrier while on non-pay status, the employee may have duplicate premium payment issues if the campus subsequently processes pay for that time period. The employee must contact the carrier directly to request a refund of the overpayment amount. Refer to Time and Labor documentation if this is effective in the middle of a pay period.
