It is that time of year to remind staff of the procedures for office closures due to inclement weather. The FAQ document provides a lot of information and specific examples for your reference.
260-day full-time staff:
- When there is an office closure or early out due to inclement weather, and you have been previously approved for remote/temporary remote worksite, you will now be required to work your regularly scheduled day, unless you are using leave.
- If there is an early out and you cannot work remotely the rest of the day, you should submit personal or vacation leave.
- Unpaid leave would also be allowed for this.
- For 260-day full-time staff, scheduled leave will not be granted back to you during inclement weather, except in extraordinary circumstances.
Timeclock Staff:
- With remote privileges timeclock staff will now be responsible for clocking in/out themselves when there is an office closed day or early out due to inclement weather.
- In the case of an early out, you should clock out when you leave the office and clock in when you arrive at your remote location.
- If you are scheduled to work eight hours a day, you need to work eight hours.
- This means that based on your commute, you might need to extend your work hours so that you can work a full eight hours.
Remote/temporary remote staff:
- Please remember that working remotely is a privilege and not everyone has been extended this opportunity.
- In the event an office closure due to inclement weather falls on your in-office day, you should adjust your schedule to dedicate three days in the office.
All-Staff:
- You may arrive up to an hour late for work without using leave time or making up the time within the week if you find yourself in a unique weather circumstance that causes your delay.
- It is expected that you will make contact with your supervisor to let him/her know your situation immediately upon knowing that you will be delayed so that s/he is assured that you are safe and an adjustment to your day can be made if necessary.
- See A. General FAQs for more information on this.
