POLICY
Snow Days & Emergency
Snow days are at the discretion of the employee and come from the employee’s PTO reserve. From time to time a true weather or other emergency, may make it impossible to be open for business. In times of these severe emergencies, the Executive Director will decide as to whether the offices and programs of the Arc will be open for business. In those cases, employees will receive their regular pay rate for the time the offices/programs are not open, up to two days (but may only be an hour or two). After that time, the Board of Directors as lead by the Executive Committee may be further engaged to make necessary decisions and plans for the emergency and its effect on staff.
If a property where the employee works is inaccessible to that employee (e.g. ice and snow block wheelchair access) the employee does not have to report to work at that facility and will be paid for the day. However, the same employee may be required to report to an accessible location. All employees must check with their supervisor before assuming they will be compensated for snow days or emergency.
If an employee knows a storm is coming and has access to and the type of work that can be done from home, an employee may elect to work from home and not use PTO. All employees must check with their supervisor to arrange this possibility.
