Dear GGU members,

The Commissioner of the Dept. of Administration announced Thursday that layoffs associated with a pending partial government shutdown have been avoided.

State of Alaska
Department of Administration
Message from the Commissioner's Office

The Legislature passed a fully funded budget on June 11.

If you received a layoff or furlough notice dated June 1, which was solely related to the partial government shutdown, that notice is hereby rescinded based on the legislative action. There will not be a partial government shutdown, and all employees should report to work on July 2, 2015, if scheduled to do so.

There are still layoffs effective on July 1.

If you have questions, please see your department’s human resources manager or your supervisor.

Thank you.

Thank you for your patience, support, and activism during the Legislature's unprecedented budgeting process.

Jim Duncan
Executive Director
