Workplace talking about mandatory unpaid leave to save $-- is this legal??

Isn’t that what a furlough is? I think whether it’s legal or not depends on the state and type of employment or contract. My husband is a state worker and they are still discussing the possibility of a mandatory two-week furlough.

I’d rather take unpaid time off than have employees laid off from my company.

I’m on furlough right now! And lucky to have a job, I figure.
