Friday...Statewide Furlough Day
KENTUCKY....
State offices will be closed on Friday as part of the state's budget balancing plan to furlough state government workers a total of six days in fiscal year 2011, as authorized by the 2010-12 biennial budget passed by the General Assembly. The furloughs are estimated to save taxpayers approximately $24 million, as well as prevent laying off more than 400 state employees.
The vast majority of executive branch state employees are included in the furlough plan, including non-merit employees and merit system employees, full-time and part-time, the Governor and all cabinet secretaries and contract workers. A limited number of state offices have been approved to remain open or partially open. Employees approved to receive an exception and remain at work on Friday, November 12th, will take their furlough on another day in November.
