Part time, Seasonal and Regular Non-benefited (RNB) employees will be furloughed an equivalent number of hours based on their budgeted FTE. Furloughs will be taken at the rate of 24 hours per quarter (or their part time equivalent). Furloughs will be taken in four-hour increments (4,8,12) and will be scheduled in coordination with the employee’s supervisor to ensure business needs continue to be met. Part time employees with less than 4 hours of furlough increments, shall take the remaining time in one instance. (E.g. .6 FTE employee must take 14.4 furlough hours per quarter; once the employee has taken three four-hour blocks, they must then take the remaining 2.4 hours in one instance.) The City reserves the right to discontinue furloughs if City finances allow. The furlough schedule above ensures employees will maintain health and leave benefits through the furlough period, unless furlough leave is combined with other LWOP which may make an employee ineligible for those benefits. Before asking to combine furlough days with other types of Leave Without Pay, the employee should communicate carefully with Human Resources to understand possible impacts to City benefits.
