Inclement Weather Policy
Administrators/Support Staff
Because of the nature of the College environment, employees need to be on duty whenever possible. However, employees are not expected to take extraordinary risks to report to work in the event of severe inclement weather.
If an employee cannot report, a phone call must be made to the supervisor. Although an employee is not normally paid for time not worked due to inclement weather, it is permissible for individuals to take those days as part of their vacation allowance.
On occasion, weather conditions may be so severe that and administrative decision must be made to suspend normal educational activities. When this is necessary, supervisors will be notified through the Emergency Closing Phone Chain. Employees should listen to local radio stations for closing information.
Even when school is closed, some essential personnel are required to report to work. Required personnel typically includes security and designated facilities staff. When school is officially closed, employees not required to report to work will be paid at their normal hourly rate. Essential personnel required to report to work will be paid at double their normal rate for regular hours during official closing.
