The City approved a furlough plan for the city workforce today, imposing unpaid leave on all full time, part time, temporary and contractual City employees as well as employees from quasi-public agencies including Baltimore Development Corporation, Parking Authority of Baltimore City, and Office of Promotion and the Arts.
The plan will be effective October 5, 2009 through June 30, 2010 and includes a combination of designated mandatory furlough days and additional mandatory furlough days. The designated mandatory furlough days are days in which the City will be officially closed except for 24/7 operations and trash and recycling collection.
The combination of designated furlough days and already-designated City holidays is as follows:
Friday, October 9 Furlough Day #1
Monday, October 12 Columbus Day (Observed)
Wednesday, November 11 Veterans Day
Thursday, November 26 Thanksgiving Day
Friday, November 27 Furlough Day #2
Thursday, December 24 Furlough Day #3
Friday, December 25 Christmas Day
Friday, January 1 New Year's Day
Friday, January 15 Furlough Day #4
Monday, January 18 Martin Luther King's Birthday
Monday, February 15 President's Day
Friday, April 2 Good Friday
Friday, May 28 Furlough Day #5
Monday, May 31 Memorial Day (Observed)
Over the next week or two, my staff and I will determine how we are allocating our addtional three undesignated-but-still-mandatory furlough days. As soon as we've worked it out, I'll post a revised list which will include the additional three days when my office will be closed in this current fiscal year.
