How does the furlough program impact employees whose salary is funded from sponsored programs (grants, contracts, cooperative agreements)?
The term “grants, contracts, and/or cooperative agreements” is in reference to external sources of funds and is not extended to self support or reimbursement from an auxiliary entity. An employee appointed in positions funded in whole or in part by sponsored programs is exempt from furloughs unless otherwise specified by the sponsoring agency. Only that portion of compensation not funded by a grant, contract or cooperative agreement will be subject to furlough.
