North Belt furlough ends Monday, May 4

On May 4, the North Belt campus furlough exercise will end. Impacted employees should return to normal working schedules. We sincerely appreciate the diligence of all impacted employees in managing their schedules and workload during the furlough period.

While the furlough is ending, the North Belt campus remains under work from home guidance in alignment with Harris County’s “Stay home, Work safe” order. For employees identified as non-essential to operations, please continue following Harris County’s direction to shelter-in-place and work from home if you are able to do so. Employees identified in a business-critical role and who cannot work from home may continue going to their work location. Please remember to carry your badge and Work Authorization Letter.

We will provide further guidance as soon as we receive notification that the county lifts stay at home orders. In the interim, if you have any questions, please contact your HR business partner or manager.

I am pretty sure unemployment is paid by the State, every employer pays a rate to the state for every employee, the more they lay-off, the higher the tax rate is they must pay. But, I don’t believe they pay for your unemployment... maybe someone in payroll could answer for sure?

Uh, they probably realize, they're on the hook for unemployment payments for furloughed employees. Don't ever think that a dollar isn't behind their decisions.

At some point you need people to have a business. Maybe they realize furlough is just not working and is causing too many delays. Will that have layoff yes when they will most like start after we start coming to the office. How else would you be escorted to your car.

Well it's either that or there have been enough cost shed with those already released that it's feasible now to bring people back early.
