furlough pay
Temporary layoff compensation
Furlough pay is wages paid to employees during a temporary layoff or mandatory leave from work.
Some employers continue partial compensation during furloughs to retain workers: The company offered 60% furlough pay during the shutdown.
The term gained prominence during pandemic-era workforce reductions when businesses suspended operations but kept employees on payroll.
