furlough day
Unpaid leave day
A furlough day is a mandatory unpaid day off that employers impose on workers, typically to reduce costs during budget shortfalls without resorting to layoffs.
Government agencies and schools commonly use furlough days during fiscal crises: State employees were required to take two furlough days per month.
Unlike a regular day off, furlough days are involuntary and represent lost wages.
