Level

Classes
are cancelled. Under this level, the University will do its
best to keep all of its academic and administrative units open. See
sections 1.6 and 1.7(ii) below. |
| |
|
Level
2:
|
The
University is closed. Under this level, all academic and
administrative units will be closed, although operations such as the
Heating Plant, Security, snow clearing, and the dining hall will be
maintained no matter what the circumstances. |
|
| |
1.2 |
Any such decision will be communicated, normally by 7:00 a.m.,
|
| |
|
i) |
by an e-mail addressed to all faculty, staff and students; |
ii) |
on
the University’s Home Page; |
iii) |
by
a message that can be accessed at 939-SNOW (7669); |
iv) |
through
local radio stations; and |
v) |
during
normal office hours by phone to all University departments. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
1.3 |
Unless the University is closed, employees are expected to meet normal
responsibilities to the University.
|
| |
|
|
| |
1.4 |
If employees, other than employees represented by CUPE Local 2338,
are not able to meet those responsibilities, which may include coming
to work and remaining at work, they must inform their supervisors
in any cases where it is appropriate to do so. If their supervisors
then conclude that they have made a reasonable effort to meet those
responsiblities, they will be paid. Otherwise, they will not be paid.
Employees represented by CUPE Local 2338 should refer to
Policy # 3301 for information concerning the matter of pay in
such circumstances. |
| |
|
|
| |
1.5 |
Employees
who had scheduled vacation, sick leave, compensating time off for
overtime, days off in lieu, normal days off or other approved leave
will have their time recorded as scheduled. |
| |
|
|
| |
1.6 |
Unless
the University is closed, the University will do its best to keep
all of its academic and administrative units open. However, since
the University cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so, during
storms and other emergencies each unit will make information available
so that students, faculty, staff and others will be able to determine
if the unit is open before they travel to campus. A unit will do this
by placing, and keeping current, a message on its main telephone and
on the University’s web site indicating whether the unit is
open or closed and, if it remains open, any limitations on their services. |
| |
|
|
| |
1.7 |
During
storms and other emergencies, the ability of units to remain open
will not only be affected by their staffing levels, but also by the
services they receive from Facilities Management. Since Facilities
Management may not be able to do everything necessary to keep all
units open at all times, it must do its work in the order that will
best serve the University in the circumstances. In all cases, the
top priorities must be the fire lanes, the residences and the meal
hall. Depending on the circumstances, parking lots may then get priority.
After that, |
| |
|
| |
|
| i) |
when
classes are being held priority must be given to academic buildings
including the Library, and |
| |
|
| ii) |
when
classes are not being held, priority must be given to student
and public service buildings that have not been closed as follows:
the Library, the Student Centre, the Athletic Centre, the Music
Conservatory, the Owens and, if there are events scheduled,
Convocation Hall, the Crabtree Building and the Dunn Building. |
