Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - Today temporary layoff notices were issued to ten (10) employees. This was necessary in order to immediately reduce our expenses before year end. This layoff is indefinite.
The City of Wausau is implementing two (2) non-voluntary temporary layoff days (furloughs) for 2009. The furloughs apply to all full time and permanent part time employees of AFSCME Local 1287 and 1287CH. The leave days are as follows:

The Crossing Guards will be excluded from the December 23, 2009 lay off day (furlough) as school will be in session that day. City Hall will be closed on the above dates as well as the customer service counters of the Police Department, Community Development Authority and Public Works. These layoffs were selected in an attempt to minimize disruption of city operations and service to constituents.
