OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Oklahoma Corporation Commission plans to furlough employees to deal with budget shortfalls. The commission announced the furloughs Tuesday.

Employees will take unpaid leave on February 12, March 19, April 9, April 30, May 14, May 28, June 1 and June 25. All commission offices will be closed those days.

Commission spokesman Matt Skinner says the agency employs about 350 people. He says about 10 percent of the work force was cut last year through voluntary buyouts and other reductions.

Director of administration Brooks Mitchell says the furlough plan is subject to change depending on funding. The commission had planned to furlough workers last year but canceled the plan before it took effect.
