Additionally, Human Resources has scheduled information sessions for employees to be furloughed (that is, employees represented by unions who have agreed to furlough, and employees such as administrators, managers, and confidential employees who are not represented by a union). The meetings will be held in the Oviatt Library Presentation Room on the following dates and times:

July 28 – 1:30-3:30pm
July 29 – 1:30-3:30pm
July 30 – 9:30-11:30am
July 30 – 1:30-3:30pm
July 31 – 10:00-12:00pm

Due to the rapidly changing nature of the state and CSU budget situation, expect continued updates to the FAQ in the coming days.
