WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Layoff vs. Furlough

We changed the classification of layoff to furlough during the spring season as we wrapped up our winter. Below clarifies the distinction between the two.

LAYOFF
A layoff occurs when an employee is permanently separated from their job for reasons unrelated to their performance.
Cause: Layoffs may happen due to company restructuring, economic challenges, or overstaffing.
Employee Status: Laid-off employees are no longer part of the company.
Rehiring: There is a possibility of rehiring if circumstances change.

FURLOUGH
A furlough refers to employees' temporary, unpaid leave of absence.
Expectation: Furloughed employees remain active but are removed from payroll during the furlough period.
Duration: Furloughs have a specific time frame, weeks or months.
Reinstatement: Companies intend to recall furloughed employees when conditions improve.

Please feel free to reach out to the HR team if you have any questions or need further clarification on this change of terminology.

Our opening schedule remains contingent upon weather conditions, with the official launch of all courses slated for the first weekend in May.

Excitement is in the air as we anticipate a season filled with camaraderie and course improvements. The overwhelming response in pre-round bookings reaffirms our optimism, indicating that we're well on our way to a fantastic summer ahead.
