How Does an Employee Furlough Work vs. a Layoff? In mandatory employee furloughs, employees take unpaid or partially paid time off of work for periods of time. The employees generally have either scheduled time off or call back rights and expectations. In a layoff, employees generally have no rights of recall and no expectation of the job returning.
Chronic dry coughs are usually caused by irritation from cigarette smoke, environmental irritants, allergies, postnasal drip, or asthma. Several chronic lung diseases also cause a dry, hacking cough. Some people cough out of habit for no clear reason. Gastric reflux may also cause a chronic dry cough. Usually you will also have other symptoms, such as heartburn, burning in the throat, or increased saliva.
These coughs may occur at the start of the illness or most often, towards the middle or the end of the infection. Other causes of a dry cough include: 1  Side-effect of medication â some medicines, particularly those for high blood pressure, can result in a dry cough. 2  Hayfever-this is an allergy to grass and tree pollen.
