reduction-in-force for employees

Losing a job can be one of the most difficult situations an employee faces in his/her career. In today’s economic climate, that difficulty increases significantly. How does one move from the security of having a job today and being told soon that may not be the case? Many questions may arise and the situation can become overwhelming.

The Office of State Personnel (OSP) recognizes the difficulties associated with losing a job. That is why we have developed the resources found on this site to help you through this critical time. Use the links on the left to find information on Reduction-in-Force (RIF) Guide to Benefits, links to Reemployment sites, articles on Coping with Job Loss, services provided by State Employees' Credit Union, articles from the NC Cooperative Extension website, as well as Resources At-a-Glance and a list of Frequently Asked Questions. If you have additional questions about the RIF process or if you are not sure where to start, please contact the Career Transition Center.
