Cobb Commission To Vote on Furlough Days
The dates are May 27, June 17, July 1, Aug. 5 and Sept. 1, which are each in different pay periods.
Furlough days for Cobb County employees could be set at Tuesday's Board of Commissioners meeting.
Earlier this month, in an effort to make up a $27.1 million shortfall in the 2011 budget, the commissioners reserve money, furlough days and other measures to get through the remainder of the fiscal year ending in September.
A resolution has been drawn up for approval Tuesday. The designated days in it are May 27, June 17, July 1, Aug. 5 and Sept. 1. They all fall in different pay periods.
