ARTICLE 26 - LEAVES OF ABSENCE

26.14 Storm Leave

During storms where conditions do not warrant closure of the University, it is recognized that individual employees may be unable to report to work, may report to work late or may wish to leave work early due to road conditions.

Employees are expected to make every reasonable effort to meet their normal responsibilities to the University. If employees are not able to meet these responsibilities, which may include coming to work and remaining at work, they must inform their supervisors. If their supervisor then concludes that they have made a reasonable effort to meet those responsibilities, they will be paid. Otherwise, they will not be paid.

In cases where a decision has been made to close the University as a result of a storm or for any other reason, 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, i.e., it will not be replenished.
