My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: New Jersey
Our company just announced that everyone will be forced to take a 1 week Furlough. The way they are doing this is by giving a 4 day pay day instead of five for 1 week for each of the next 5 months. However, they made a point that during those weeks, you still must work 5 days.
I myself am NOT complainining as I am still employed, but several people in the company are complaining and thinks this may actually be illegal to make us work the full 5 days during those weeks.
Any ideas?
Regards,
The Oche
