UPDATED 2.13.09 Can I volunteer to reduce my pay instead of participating in the furlough program?
Yes, if you are an exempt, salaried employee, you may volunteer to reduce your pay by the equivalent value that the University would save if you took the furlough days applicable to your category of employment (see below). If you volunteer to reduce your pay, you must sign up electronically through MY ASU. If you choose this option you can maintain your regular work schedule. You can take time away, coordinated with your supervisor. The days away do not have to correspond to when pay is reduced (e.g. you could take 3 days away during spring break, but the ongoing reduction is just 1 day per pay period).
