Can employees use furlough days before they are accrued, since some employees will not have accrued enough days before the first curtailment period in December?
If necessary to cover campus-mandated closure days, furlough days may be used in advance of accrual. In this case, an employee can have a negative furlough accrual balance; however, the negative balance cannot exceed the total number of furlough days for the employee’s salary band. Any additional furlough days beyond those needed for the campus closure periods may be taken at the discretion of an employee with the approval of his/her supervisor.
