If an employee separates from the University before using all of his/her furlough days, will those days expire?
By policy, unused furlough days will expire at the end of the term of the Plan or upon separation of employment if earlier. Supervisors and managers should work with employees to schedule the furlough time prior to separation. Managers and supervisors have the authority under policy to require the use of furlough time.

Is severance pay to be calculated on an employee's pre-reduction salary or on the reduced salary?
If an employee is laid off or terminated during the furlough/salary reduction period, severance will be calculated on the employee's pre-reduction salary. (7/21/09)
Can an employee use accrued furlough days as their last days on pay status?
All furlough time is to be used prior to separation from the University; therefore it is appropriate for employees to be allowed to use accrued furlough days as their last days on pay status. (2/4/10)
