How do I request extended furlough once the “Rule Relaxation” period has ended?
If you have met or exceeded the 30 day Voluntary Furlough limit as of December 31, 2008, and wish to apply for a Furlough Extension, you must request these days in ten-day increments. You may take them over several weeks or months, but you must schedule ten days at a time. While on Furlough Extension, your seniority and anniversary date are not changed and you continue to accrue time and retain eligibility for promotion. Your health benefits, however, are no longer extended without additional cost to you.
