Furlough implementation each fiscal year
Mandatory 8 days of furlough. Pay reduced for each day of furlough taken.

Furlough Time Off (FTO) reporting requirements

FTO taken must equal 8 hours per week (taken in no less than 2-hour increments per day). In a week FTO is taken, the hours in pay status (e.g. hours worked, vacation hours) cannot exceed 32 hours for total time for an FTO week not to exceed 40 hours. Both FTO and hours in pay status need to be reported on the bi-weekly time sheet.

Example of salary calculation if taking one furlough day per bi-weekly pay period.

$1,379.20 gross bi-weekly salary

$137.92 per day reduction (8 hours x $17.24)
$1,241.28 revised gross bi-weekly salary

$1,103.36=8 days of furlough salary reduction ($137.92 x 8 days)
