It’s 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:
- If the office closes or has an early dismissal due to bad weather, and you have approval to work remotely, you’re expected to work your regular hours unless you’re taking leave.
- If there’s an early dismissal and you can’t continue working remotely, you’ll need to use personal or vacation leave.
- Unpaid leave would also be allowed for this.
- For full-time, 260-day staff, leave scheduled during inclement weather will not be returned, except in exceptional cases.
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.
- If you leave the office early, please clock out when you leave and clock back in once you’re set up at your remote location.
- You still need to complete your scheduled eight hours, so you may need to adjust your work hours to account for your commute.
Remote/temporary remote staff:
- Please remember that working remotely is a privilege and not everyone has been extended this opportunity.
- In the event of 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:
- If severe weather causes a delay, you may arrive up to an hour late without using leave time or making up the hours.
- Please inform your supervisor as soon as you know you’ll be late, so they know you’re safe and can adjust your schedule if needed.
- For more details, see “A” under the General FAQs section.
The FAQ document was created to assist in clarifying the agency’s procedures for inclement weather questions. Please reference as needed, and contact your supervisor if you have any questions.
