網上找來的定義:https://www.dictionary.com/e/furlough-vs-layoff/
A furlough is “a temporary layoff from work.” People who get furloughed usually get to return to their job after a furlough. In general, people are not paid during furloughs but they do keep employment benefits, such as health insurance. Furloughs are mandatory. Workers are ordered not to do anything work-related while they are on furlough.
Layoffs are when an employer dismisses employees. That is, they are let go (laid off) from their jobs.
建議看一下你的書麵通知是怎麽說的,按規矩來,客戶也能夠理解。如果不按規矩留下後患,沒了工作就別提客戶了,和老板對著幹等恢複正常後再考慮。如果沒有書麵通知,問人事部。
