EMPLOYMENT ISSUE: SSU to Implement Two-Day Monthly Furloughs

January 30, 2010

Employees working at the Sonoma State University (SSU) will be having their furloughs by closing the campus for at least two Fridays each month, authorities said.

The latest furloughs that started January 8 are part of the state’s cost cutting measures that should aid the current budget crisis.

Aside from the two working days each month, four days in April during the spring break will also be used as furloughs.

Faculty members are not allowed to take more than one furlough day each week and they may be exempted from the four-day furlough in April.

Student Recreation Center will be opened during these times along with the services for the residential community. Police and parking services will also be available to students.
