How will furlough days be scheduled?
Some or all furlough days may be formally scheduled by your campus, division or department. Employees should receive advance notice of these closure days. Any leftover furlough days may be taken at the discretion of an employee, with the approval of the employee’s supervisor. Employees may begin using furlough days as early as September 1, with the approval of their supervisor, manager, or department head. Supervisors have the authority to approve the use of furlough days in advance of accrual in order to manage employee schedules during the term of the program. Before approving the use of furlough time, supervisors should consider any upcoming prescheduled furlough/closure days. Employees are expected to use their discretionary furlough days during the pay period when they are accrued. However, if an employee has a compelling reason to accumulate discretionary furlough days for use at the end of the plan period, he/she may make a request to his/her supervisor.
