monthly as of September 1, 2009.  The furlough will be in effect through August 31, 2010.  The number of days an individual furloughs is based on their salary level and may be anywhere from 11 to 26 days in the coming year.
UC Cooperative Extension is a Fresno County department as well and our county staff (two secretaries and an office manager) will also furlough in the coming year.  Each of these individuals will furlough a total of forty hours. 

Our office will close for the holidays on Thursday, December 24, 2009 and will open again on Monday, January 4, 2010.  Other than this period of time, there is no other planned weekly closure.

The furloughs for both Fresno County and the University of California are designed to address California budget shortfalls.

We will continue to meet the needs of our clientele while respecting the university and county directives to furlough.  We appreciate your support and welcome (as always) your comments.
