Payless furloughs
may salvage jobs
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Some
45,000 federal employees will be
required to start in the next two
months taking one day off with
out pay every two weeks to con
form with President Reagan’s
budget cuts.
The Office of Personnel
Management came up with the
idea of these furlougns late last
year as an alternative to layoffs,
known in Washington as RIFs
(reductions in force).
The office initiated the proc
edure and urged other agencies
to consider similar action. So far,
two other agencies have adopted
the procedure.
Federal Aviation Administra
tion officials said Wednesday
that agency’s 45,000 employees
would be furloughed with the
exception of the 10,000 air traf
fic controllers whose jobs are
viewed as essential.
Spokesman Jerry Lavey said
the furloughs will start in April
and last through the end of the

1982 fiscal year on Sept. 30. The
employees will be told to take
one day off per two-week pay
period.
A Transportation Depart
ment spokesman said the FAA,
which has a $3 billion budgetfor
1982, is the only branch of the
department planning fur
loughs.
The third federal agency that
has announced once-a-fortnight
furloughs is the Census Bureau,
part of the Commerce Depart
ment.
Spokesman Gary Wilkinson
said the bureau’s 6,000 em
ployees were notified Feb. 3 that
they will be furloughed starting
next month. The mandatory
vacations will start with one day
off every two weeks but could be
expanded later.
“Everybody takes off one day
per pay period,” Wilkinson said.
“That keeps the work flowing.
The employees here seem to be
almost universally in favorofthe
furlough idea because it does
save jobs.”
Lavey said the details of the
FAA furloughs have not been
worked out and there has been
no official notification of em
ployees.
“I believe it includes every
one,” Lavey said. He was not
sure however if J. Lynn Helms,
FAA administrator, and hisde-
a , Michael Fennel, would be
mghed because they are
paid fixed annual salaries.
“They get their salaries no
matter what,” he said.
At the OPM, which adminis
ters benefit programs for the
federal workforce, director
Donald Devine and his deputy
were exempted from the fur
loughs as were the 3,000 em
ployees not paid out of the agen
cy’s budget but from trust funds
and other off-budget sources
But the agency’s other 3,0(
employees have been told they
will have one day off without pay
every two weeks starting next
month.
