Carbon County has released the numbers of employees who will be furloughed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ninety-four employees will be furloughed, with 58 coming from the commissioners’ department and offices, 22 from row offices and 14 from the courts.

The Carbon County Commissioners, in conjunction with the Court of Common Pleas and the elected row office holders, announced Friday they would be initiating a furlough and partial furlough of county employees.

These furlough numbers include both full and part-time workers separated into five categories:

• 38 full-time employees will be on full furlough.

• 18 part-time workers will be on part-time furlough.

• 10 workers will be reduced to 30 hours per week.

• 17 employers will be cut to three days a week.

• 11 employers will be reduced to two days a week.

During the most recent employee monthly census, Carbon County had 296 full-time and 102 part-time employees.

The effective date of the furlough is Monday through April 30.

A decision will be made before April 30 if the furloughs and partial furloughs are to remain in effect until a later time.

Services of the county will still remain operational and will be handled by fewer staff members until this situation passes.

“We want everyone to know the county, the court and row offices will still be functioning, just under different circumstances,” a news release from the county states.

“This was a difficult decision for the commissioners, the court and row office holders, and was not taken lightly. This conscientious decision was made with the safety of the employees and the public foremost in mind. We ask for your patience in this trying time and know we will be back even stronger.”
