Furlough

An appointing authority may furlough an employee in the classified or partially exempt service, for up to 10 working days in a fiscal year without regard to the layoff provisions of 2 AAC 07.405, if the principal executive officer of the department makes a written finding, subject to approval by the governor, that a furlough is necessary to meet budgetary constraints. The appointing authority shall provide an employee with at least two weeks advance notice of a furlough. A furlough shall be treated as if the employee were in pay status in its effects on the probationary period, leave accrual, and merit anniversary dates.
