Reduction in Force

A reduction-in-force can be a stressful experience, not only for the employees who are directly affected but also for their families, friends, supervisors, and co-workers. This site was created for state employees who may be notified and/or separated by reduction-in-force, but also for the many others whose lives may be touched by this process.

On this site, you will find a Reduction-in-Force Resource Guide and advice from our Employee Assistance Program about how to cope with the disruption and uncertainty that reduction-in-force brings.

As state employees, we may gain strength by relying on each other in these difficult times. Take heart in the fact that, at one time or another, many other state employees have been through this experience and have had similar feelings and circumstances. Your fellow state employees can be a wonderful source of support.

We hope these resources will help to smooth your transition. Please feel free to contact the Office of State Human Resources and let us know how we can help.

Offboarding Information Sessions

Temporary Solutions is partnering with the OSHR Employee Relations Team to offer bi-weekly virtual sessions for RIF-affected individuals. The sessions will work to compassionately inform participants on the State’s RIF and severance policies, as well as how to use Workday to search for vacant positions, complete and update a state application, and track an application’s progress through the recruitment process.  You will be able to register for these events and can access the “Join Meeting” links for each session. For any questions, contact TS Recruiter Aileen Rodriguez (aileen.rodriguez@nc.gov; 984-236-1040) for answers to your questions about this service.

To register for these sessions, please sign up using this link.
