I am an exempt employee. If I am absent from work only part of the day during a week in which a furlough day is observed, do I need to submit vacation or sick time for the hours missed?
Yes. During a furlough week, exempt employees must account for part-day absences, including medical and dental appointments, etc. Partial absences must be recorded appropriately on your leave usage form. For example, if you request to take a half-day off of work during the week in which a furlough day is observed, you must use and record four hours of an appropriate leave type.
