What is a mandatory furlough?
A furlough is a leave of absence without pay that is enacted as a cost savings measure. There are two types of furloughs – voluntary and mandatory. When a mandatory furlough is declared, all employees paid from all funding sources in a particular area or department must take time off without pay for the period of time designated by the furlough.
