Boise State University is taking steps to make sure that it does not have to make more drastic financial moves down the road. They have gone the way of the furlough, even if it is for a short period of time. According to ESPN,
The university said 12-month employees earning more than $40,000 per year are required to take furloughs between May 3 and July 31. The highest-paid employees making more than $150,000 annually will have to take 10-day furloughs.
It's also being reported by CBS that the breakdown of salary furlough time would look like this:
Employees making more than $150,000 per year will required to take 10 days off without pay. Assistants who make between $100,000-$149,999 will have to take seven days off, those who make $75,000-$99,999 will be sidelined for five days and staffers who make between $40,000-$74,999 will be off for four days.
Many coaches around the country have taken volunteer pay cuts, but this is the first that we've seen that was a mandatory furlough. Will coaches in the state of Florida be next?
