Oklahoma to furlough nearly 6,000 DHS workers Nov. 2 due to federal shutdown, with higher-paid staff losing pay days.
The Oklahoma Department of Human Services will begin furloughing nearly 6,000 employees starting November 2 due to the federal government shutdown, which has disrupted critical funding.
Higher-paid staff—those earning $50,000 or more—will face unpaid days, with those making $100,000 or more getting three furlough days per pay period and those between $50,000 and $100,000 receiving two.
Employees earning under $50,000 are exempt.
Officials called the move difficult but necessary to maintain financial stability and continue essential services to vulnerable populations amid reduced federal support.
