Pierce County District Court will implement a furlough for court employees on Thursday.

It’s the second of three furlough days in response to budget cuts and an agreement with AFSCME Local 120. The next furlough day is Dec. 24. The first was Oct. 12.

On these days, the court will hold only in-custody arraignment hearings and will not operate for purposes of public payments, filings or other related matters. This action will involve all divisions of the court, including Probation.
