Section 89544.

(a) A permanent nonacademic employee may, with his consent and the approval of the trustees, be employed at less than full time and retain permanent status. Seniority credit and any other credit shall be gained only in the proportion the actual time employed is to full-time employment in the position.

(b) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 3560) of Division 4 of Title 1 of the Government Code, the memorandum of understanding shall be controlling without further legislative action, except that if such provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure of funds, the provisions shall not become effective unless approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
