Employees and students should listen to one of the above stations for information about alternate work hours or building closures. Announcements made on other stations may not be accurate. In the absence of official notification of delayed opening or office closure, employees are expected to report to work on time or contact their immediate supervisor or other appropriate personnel as directed by immediate supervisor.
If the existing or imminent weather conditions are sufficiently severe to warrant not opening, opening late, or closing an office or work place early, employees directly affected by such conditions shall be excused from duty without loss of pay or use of leave.
As determined by the College President, employees who are late in arriving to duty or request early release from duty because of severe weather conditions, when the office or work place observed normal hours, may be permitted to make up time lost from work, charge it to accrued personal time, or charge it to accrued annual leave. Otherwise, the time lost shall count as leave without pay.
Employees on a regular day off, or otherwise not affected when their office or work place is closed because of severe weather conditions, shall not receive additional time off or other considerations because of the closing.
The College President, with notice to the Commissioner, is responsible for the administration of this policy for the college. |
