II. C. 11. Severe Inclement Weather

  1. The President of the College or the President's designee(s) will make the determination if any/or all campuses will be affected by the inclement weather.
     

  2. Employees in certain job categories, which are considered "essential services", will be expected to report for duty.  Essential services include:

    1. Food Services (adequate staff to provide this service)

    2. Security Staff (regular shift schedule)

    3. Maintenance (on call)

    4. One staff member for communication

    5. Residence Hall Manager (available 24 hrs/7 days to assist students)

    Persons in the above categories who may be reluctant to drive should call the school. arrangements will be made to provide these employees with transportation to work.  There will be no equivalent or compensatory time for working on days the College is closed due to inclement weather.

    If the existing or imminent weather conditions are sufficiently severe to warrant not opening, opening late, or closing early an office or work place, employees directly affected by such conditions will be excused from duty without loss of pay or use of leave.
     

  3. Employees who are late in arriving to work or request to leave early because of severe weather conditions, when the College will observe normal working hours, may be permitted to:

    1. Make up time lost from work

    2. Charge time lost to accrued compensatory time

    3. Charge time lost to accrued leave

    Otherwise, the time lost will count as leave without pay.
     

  4. Employees on a regular day off or otherwise not affected when their office or work place is closed because of severe weather conditions will not receive additional time off or other considerations because of the closing.
