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.
While government shutdowns prior to the 1995â1996 shutdowns had very mild effects, a full federal government shutdown causes a large number of civilian federal employees to be furloughed. Active duty military personnel (those on Title 10 status) and employees excepted by the Antideficiency Act are not furloughed, but may not be paid as scheduled for the period of the furlough.
