KY Workers Face Final Furlough Day
Friday will be a furlough day for most Kentucky state workers, the sixth one and last of the fiscal year.
The General Assembly authorized the furloughs, which are expected to save taxpayers about $24 million and prevent laying off more than 400 state employees.
Most executive branch employees are included in the furlough, but to keep necessary services available, some state offices will remain open or partially open Friday, and some exemptions have been approved for workers who provide critical services, such as police and medical personnel.
State workers are also off on Monday for Memorial Day.
The fiscal year ends June 30. No furlough days are currently scheduled for next fiscal year.
