[All_jlab_accounts] JLab Update Regarding Sequestration Impacts for FY13

[deborah magaldi]

/This message is being sent on behalf of Jefferson Lab Director Hugh 
Montgomery./

Dear Colleague,

As we have discussed on several occasions, FY13 has been a difficult 
year from the point of view of funding. In a memo to all staff, we 
explained that we no longer contemplated operating the laboratory with a 
reduced working week. Nevertheless, despite the mitigation of a large 
part but not all, of the impact of sequestration, the budget situation 
is very tight as we approach the end of the fiscal year. We will be 
taking the actions as laid out below.

- Deploy some of the Director's Reserve funds from the Department of Energy.

- Deploy some reserve SURA funds from the Commonwealth of Virginia.

- Apply austerity in Materials and Services through to the end of the 
fiscal year and reduce expenditures by delaying non-essential 
procurements beyond the end of the fiscal year.

- Implement the increased use of vacation time for _exempt employees_. 
Your managers will be providing the details of how this will be implemented.

- Delay some post-shutdown activities until early October.

In all these initiatives, we appreciate your support.


With Best Regards,

Mont
