Furlough as a \u201cjob retention scheme\u201d has to be agreed between the employer and the employee. It enables businesses to continue and guarantees employment continuity to employees. Furloughs can be a suitable alternative for those employees that would otherwise have been laid-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of &#8220;furlough&#8221; became relatively common in countries like USA, UK, France and Germany after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A collective bargaining agreement (\u201c<b>CBA<\/b>\u201d) was concluded in Egypt last June between a group of companies including Schlumberger Logelco, Dowell Schlumberger ME, MI Overseas, WesternGeco and others (the \u201c<b>Companies<\/b>\u201d) and the Trade Union for Petroleum Employees from the other side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2189,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is Egypt Adopting a New Approach of \u201cFurloughs\u201d and \u201cInvoluntary Temporary Leaves\u201d?
