When can employees begin using furlough days?
Employees can begin using furlough days as early as September 1, with the approval of the supervisor/manager/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 pre-scheduled furlough/closure days (i.e., it would not be prudent for a supervisor to approve an employee using all furlough accruals prior to a scheduled holiday closure period).
