2008-09 Budget Update - State's Flexible Furlough Program

On April 28, Gov. Perdue signed Executive Order 11, which implements a flexible furlough program for all state employees.

According to the Governor's office, all teachers’ and state employees’ compensation will be reduced by an annualized amount equivalent to 0.5 percent for the remainder of the fiscal year. In return, each employee will receive 10 hours of flexible time off that can be taken between June 1 and December 31. Therefore, when an employee takes their time off, their pay will not be deducted any further beyond the .5 percent taken this fiscal year.
