The word 'furlough' is typically used in the context of employment. It refers to a temporary leave of absence from work, usually without pay. This can happen when a company is experiencing financial difficulties and needs to cut back on expenses, or when an employee needs time off for personal reasons. During a furlough, the employee is still technically employed by the company and may be able to keep some benefits, but they are not receiving their normal salary. The term became more commonly used during the COVID-19 pandemic when many companies had to furlough employees due to the economic impact of the virus.
