Guidelines for Recall for Teaching (Appendix to APM 200.22)

Campus administration may now enter into a multi-year recall agreement with a faculty member who is 60 years or older and is considering retirement.

Faculty on recall to active duty should consult with the campus Benefits Office about benefit issues and the impact that recall salary may have on their annuity (see Restrictions below).

Period of Recall: The initial recall can be for up to three academic years. After the initial recall period, subsequent recalls must be requested annually, based on departmental need. Maximum duration of subsequent recalls is one year.

Compensation: Generally, the teaching recall salary will be 1/9^th of the annual base salary per quarter-system course and 1/6^th of the annual base salary per semester course. Base salary does not include any off-scale increments or the negotiated component of salary for faculty in the School of Medicine. Rather, it is the salary at the faculty member’s rank & step at the time of retirement, incremented for any systemwide range adjustments of the scale. [For example, if Professor Wonderful retires at Step VII at a base salary of B, and one year later, Step VII salaries are range-adjusted by 3%, Professor Wonderful’s base salary would also increase 3%.] In this context, a course is defined as having 3-4 units. [The recall salary rate for courses less than 3 units or more than 4 units would be scaled proportionately.]

Funding will be provided by temporary teaching money available in each College/School.

Restrictions:

1. A minimum 30-day break in service after retirement is required prior to the effective date of a teaching recall.

2. Recalls are limited to 43% time. See http://atyourservice.ucop.edu/forms_pubs/subject/retirement.html.

3. A recall to active duty does not guarantee that faculty will be assigned office or laboratory space.

Approval authority:

The Vice Provost—Academic Personnel has approval authority for all recalls to active duty.
