As you know, many organizations, including sport organizations, experienced financial difficulty during the economic recession that began in late 2008 and early 2009. As a result, many companies had to make difficult choices about whether or not they should furlough employees in order to reduce costs. Visit the Department of Labor website located at the following link: www.dol.gov/whd/flsa/index.htm. From this page, locate information or guidance on the legal issues that arise from an organization’s decision to furlough any or all of its employees.
