Will exclusively represented employees whose unions have not agreed to the furlough plan be required to take vacation or leave without pay during campus closure days?
Exclusively represented employees whose unions have not agreed to the furlough plan should check the collective bargaining agreement for their unit. Where a contract is in place, employees will choose to use vacation, other accrued time, or leave without pay during campus closure days. For represented employees whose contract has expired, there may need to be collective bargaining on the furlough plan and on closure. For these employees, what occurs during closure will depend on the outcome of negotiations.
