UWM Furlough Guidelines
On June 23, 2009, the Governor issued Executive Order 285 which requires all state employees to take eight days or 64 hours of unpaid leave (furlough time off) per year in each of the next two fiscal years. Under the UW System plan for implementing the furloughs, which has been approved by the Office of State Employment Relations, salary and furlough time off reductions will be in effect for July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011. Because the procedures and rules are different for each employment group, you are encouraged to start with your group below, however you will find additional links and information as you might want to explore more detail.
