Use of Voluntary Reduction in Work Schedule credits – date extended 

GOER has notified us that, under their discretion, they will extend the date by which Voluntary Reduction in Work Schedule (VRWS) credits earned during fiscal year 2019-2020 must be liquidated from Sept. 30, 2020 to March 31, 2021. All other guidelines for VRWS remain the same for all bargaining units.

Please note that this extension does not apply to credits earned on or after April 1, 2020.
