Does this letter say, due to your employment terms we will continue paying your full salary during this furlough and you will donate 10% back to us? 

If yes, that's a quid pro quo and no charitable contribution.

I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around this thing.  If Paul Harvey were still alive maybe we could get The Rest of the Story.

What if the employee doesn't "agree" to be furloughed?  The fact that this is running through payroll suggests to me that there are conditions on it which likely lead to a quid pro quo.  i.e. you pay us 10% of your salary and we won't lay you off.

Is he going to get an ack letter for the donations?
