You can lay it down to transport it no problem, but if it has been on its side you need to let it rest upright for a number of hours before switching it on. I've heard varying hours ranging from just 3 to 24. So I'm not sure on the exact number!
In the United States, a furlough is a temporary leave of employees due to special needs of a company, which may be due to economic conditions at the specific employer or in the economy as a whole. These involuntary furloughs may be short or long term, and many of those affected may seek other temporary employment during that time.
The furlough may happen to everyone in your company at the same time or they may rotate it through different employees. Depending on your situation, you will need to prepare for the loss of income. If your furlough is spread out over time, you may need to look for a long-term additional income source.
