Excessing / Employee Status Change Form 2009:      

If faced with being partially excessed, be careful to read the form before signing:

·         Box #4 if you want to be fully excessed (i.e. transfer out) of your current site.  You are still employed and owed your full contract (unless you receive a layoff letter). 

·         Box #5 if you want to be partially excessed this leaves open the possibility to stay at your building next year (depends upon finding matching pieces to add to the retained FTE).  You are still employed and owed your full contract (unless you receive a layoff letter).  If not sure amongst #4, #5 or #6, this choice offers you the most flexibility. 

·         Box #6  if you want to voluntarily demote (that means less pay & less FTE), but wish to stay at the site.  You would no longer be owed the contrat FTE you had this year.  You should also contact TRA (651-296-2409) before you demote and ask whether reducing your contract will affect your pension.
