The 4.07 University Weather/Working Conditions policy indicates the University would generally maintain a regular schedule during periods of severe weather. Faculty and staff have the opportunity to make their own decision about reporting to work with due consideration for travel safety conditions. P&S staff would typically record an absence using accrued vacation (non-temporary only) or unpaid leave unless other arrangements have been made with their supervisor.
Generally, non-temporary merit staff who are absent from work due to a weather related emergency may use accrued vacation, earned compensatory time or leave without pay to record the absence. There is also an option to make up missed time and this must take place within the same work week (Sunday to Saturday). For additional information related to weather conditions for AFSCME covered staff, please refer to Article XI, Section 6 (Severe Weather/Emergency Closing) starting on page 92 of the 2011-2013 AFSCME collective bargaining agreement.
