When Applicable. A furlough is a permanent relief from duty and loss of pay for hours of services which would otherwise be performed by members of the bargaining unit and which is required by the chief administrative officer due to lack of funds or work. Lost furlough pay must not be made up by the same or other employees in overtime hours or compensatory time. All reductions in salary and furlough leaves must take place within the “furlough period” designated by the chief administrative officer, ordinarily the period between the effective date of the chief administrative officer’s determination to relieve members of the bargaining unit from duties due to lack of funds or work and the end of the fiscal year in which that determination is made. It is agreed that the County’s determination to require the bargaining unit to make up for services lost by virtue of a furlough by reducing the bargaining unit members’ opportunity to be absent on authorized leave of any other kind (other than compensatory leave) during the furlough period establishes a violation of this Agreement for which all affected unit members will be compensated by a restoration of salary denied pursuant to §C.2 hereof.
