General
Closure |
| |
In
the event of extreme weather conditions, the President may restrict
service or declare the temporary closure of the University. In this
event, employees will be given direction by their supervisors to depart
work early or not to report to work until the closure is cancelled.
If given such direction, employees will be paid for any time that
they cannot work as a result of the closure. Any employee required
by their supervisor to report for work or remain at work during the
closure, in order to handle emergency work, will be compensated in
accordance with Article 25 of the collective agreement. |

Circumstances |

During
storms where conditions do not warrant closure of the University,
individual employees may be unable to report to work or may wish to
leave work early due to road conditions. The following procedures
will apply. |

Prior to Shift |
| |
Employees
are expected to make every reasonable effort to come to work
in time to start their scheduled shift or, if delayed by the
storm, to arrive within one hour of the scheduled start time.
If they are unable to report to work, employees are to inform
their supervisors or, failing that, they are to call 364-2444
and leave a message indicating their situation and when they
expect to be able to report to work. Employees who arrive on
time or within one hour of starting time will be paid for the
entire shift. Employees who do not arrive within the hour of
starting time will only be paid for the hours worked that day.
Any time that is missed can be covered by banked or vacation
time, or the hours can be made up at a time mutually agreeable
to the employee and the supervisor. |

Early Departure From Work |
| |
If
during their scheduled shift any employees become concerned
that they might have difficulty getting home due to weather
conditions, they are to inform their supervisor of their concerns
and request permission to depart early. Once informed, the supervisor
will not unduly prevent the departure of any employee who wishes
to depart. Employees will not be paid for that portion of their
shift after their departure. Any missed time can be covered
by banked or vacation time, or the hours can be made up at a
time mutually agreeable to by the employee and the supervisor. |
