For example, in a software development project, the software code is the deliverable. In a project to develop and implement a BYOD Policy (Bring Your Own Device), the documented policy is the deliverable. The list of examples is endless, but the story is the same - project deliverables are project outcomes. But it doesn't end there.....
A furlough is when an employer places an employee into temporary non-duty, non-pay status because of budget issues, lack of work, or other non-disciplinary reasons. Furloughs may be voluntary or mandatory and are different from normal layoffs because employees continue to work on a reasonably regular basis.
In some cases, a company may require employees to take unpaid leave, or a furlough. This is done as a cost cutting measure, with the company preferring to force employees to take time off instead of eliminating positions at the company.
