Most Atlantic County Offices Closed Friday & Monday


Most Atlantic County offices will be closed Friday because of a scheduled furlough day.
A furlough day is a mandatory, nonpaid day off for most county employees. The county executive said the five scheduled furlough days before the end of the year became necessary to stabilize the county tax rate and avoid layoffs once the county was notified it would have to come up with an extra $3.4 million for Atlantic City tax appeals on top of the $7.3 million that had already been budgeted.

The three remaining furlough days are Oct. 17, Nov. 25 and Dec. 23. County officials have previously said they try to schedule furloughs on a Monday or Friday and around a holiday to give employees a longer weekend.
The Superior Court of New Jersey will remain open as well as the jail, the Meadowview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, the animal shelter, county senior centers and transportation, according to a statement from the county.
