Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

A temporary absence from work, when workers keep their job but are not working while the coronavirus outbreak continues. It is intended to be a temporary arrangement and workers will return to their jobs, but there is no guarantee that employers will keep everyone on when furlough ends.
