Limited Exemptions To Required State Furloughs
KENTUCKY...
The commonwealth has approved limited exemptions to required state employee furloughs needed to help balance the budget.
A news release issued Thursday night said Personnel Cabinet Secretary Nikki Jackson approved exemptions for some public safety and mental health workers.
The commonwealth is requiring state workers to take six furlough days during the current fiscal year to save $24 million.
Jackson said employees in critical public safety and mental health care positions won't be required to take the unpaid days off.
