Furloughs for Georgia State Employees started last year, not sure exactly when for each department affected. The License department started furloughs in October. One day each month for October, November and December. The furlough day for January was suspended as a "reward" for implementing quickly the new more secure licensing process, which started in mid-December. Furloughs (one day a month) for Georgia State employees are indefinite.
Until last June 1st, the standard operating hours for the drivers license offices have been 9 to 5 Tuesday thru Saturday (5-- 8-hour days = 40 hours), On June 1st 2009, most of the offices statewide changed to 4 -10-hour days thus the Tuesday thru Friday schedule still equals 40 hours in a week. Several offices throughout the state, however are still open on half a day on Saturday (8 to 12 noon) and requires the examiners to cut their hours during the week in order to not work over 40 hours in one week. The work schedule has never had the offices open for regular business on any Sunday or any Monday.
