Workers at the courts of Guam, in the Pacific, will have their working week cut to 32 hours from Friday, as the judiciary tries to cut costs.<\/p>\n
The so-called furloughs were approved by the Judicial Council in April and were originally scheduled to begin in May.<\/p>\n
But they were delayed until this month, when a funding shortfall called for their implementation.<\/p>\n
It means all employees, including justices and judges, will now work only four days a week.<\/p>\n
Contracts with some vendors have already been cut.<\/p>\n
Court operating hours have been reduced by an hour a day.<\/p>\n
