What would you call if your business is closed on your return trip?
I’m trying to find a word to describe an individual who is paid while their business is temporarily closed. As a library is being renovated, the staff are paid for the hours they would have worked. Example:
I’ve thought about “paid time off” and “paid leave” but it doesn’t seem correct as leave would suggest the workers voluntarily took the time off, and the latter would suggest a vacation.
Is it a paid and unpaid furlough? What are some good ideas?
What are some ways to get a job.
I would use “temporary paid shutdown” or “temporary, paid shutdown”. The hyphen and comma emphasize the paid aspect of the shutdown, which I believe is more important than the temporary aspect. Is it fair to assume that a shutdown would be temporary to do so?
I wouldn’t use “leave” instead of “shutdown” because the former is open to misinterpretation. I’m not familiar with the word “furlough” so it’s better to use the more familiar “shutdown”. ”

Possibly
paid temporary shutdown
or
paid temporary closedown
For example I am a company employee who is not a manager.
I think an inclusive phrase would not seem jarring to most people. Of the definitions is (US)
a temporary laying off of employees, usually because there is too little work to occupy
them As you indicate, most furloughs involve no pay (in fact salary is the most common reason for furloughing). Because when you say paid furlough, you considered things, the meaning would probably be clear. In the current US government shutdown, workers were often described as being furloughed, and some were paid despite not working.
