Head administrators or lead managers will be notified with a study’s proposal package, which includes the study’s purpose, procedures, and benefit factors along with a consent form attached to obtain permission to proceed with the study. A second consent form will be mailed out to participants that were randomly selected then will be asked to return the form 48-hours of receipt to the return addressee. Web-based survey questionnaires generated through survey monkey will be administered to the participants with options of completing the survey at their workstations or at home. In addition, no personally identifying information (PPI) will be collected. Participants will complete the online survey questionnaire generated by using survey monkey, which will include closed ended questions on absenteeism, task performance, productivity, commitment, workloads, WLOC, and work environment, post furlough. Survey questionnaires will be customized to target the individual- and organizational-levels perception on the negative impact of furlough within their organization.

No interviews will be conducted in this non-experimental quantitative study. The participants’ responses to the questionnaires could address how negatively furlough impacts their organizations, so that future planning for and implementation for furlough guidance and

Telecommuting has been shown to reduce absenteeism, improve retention, and reduce recruitment costs for the organization (Family, pg. 730). Increased employee moral is also a benefit associated with telecommuting (Professional Isolation, pg. 512). Offering this new benefit that is such a satisfier for employees will likely result in reduced turnover within the organization and higher productivity. A study found pubic employees who were satisfied with their telework/telecommuting benefits were less likely to leave their positions (Family pg. 732). With the reduction of office time, an increase in employee productivity is likely due to fewer interruptions from fellow employees (Lessons pg. 10). With telecommuting having benefits to both the employer and employee, this new policy should bring positive results to the

ONO is a large auto-supply company that does a large volume of business with only eleven employees. Absenteeism seems to have increased over the last two years and has had a significant effect on ONO. The information in the text shows that ONO had lost 539 employee labor-hours or 67.375 days to employee absenteeism last year. Because there are only eleven employees, this equals out to 6.125 missed days per employee. This is actually less than the United States average of seven missed days per year. Is absenteeism at ONO a serious problem? Whether or not a serious problem, the data from ONO, Inc. suggests there is enough to warrant an investigation and a new strategy to minimize absenteeism. As
