Inclement Weather Days
On days when the College and ESR are declared
to be closed due to inclement weather, full-time and part-time employees are paid
for
their regularly scheduled hours at their regular hourly wage rate.
On days when the College and ESR are forced
to close prior to its normal closing time, individuals who would be working
during the
remaining hours are compensated for these hours at their regular
hourly wage rate, as if they had been at work. (This includes only
those employees who were actually working that day and does not
affect in any way individuals who are sick, on vacation,
or on leave). On
such days, Earlham may ask some individuals to remain and finish
jobs or undertake tasks that need to be done as a result of the
situation. Individuals stay, however, only at the
request of a supervisor and
with the advance approval of the Assistant Vice President for Business
Operations or Dean of ESR. In such cases, compensation for hours
worked beyond the announced closing time and in excess of 40 hours
per workweek, will be paid at the overtime wage rate and will be
in addition to the employee's regular wages for hours prior to
the normal closing time.
On days, or times, when the College
and ESR are open but weather
makes it difficult for individuals to arrive on time, supervisors
have the right to not penalize employees arriving late. Individuals
who fail to make it to work due to the inclement weather must
use vacation time or personal time in order to be paid for
such time.
Sick time may not be used in such situations. Supervisors will
be encouraged to be sensitive to requests by staff employees
to leave
work early due to worsening weather conditions; however, employees
must use vacation time or personal time in order to be paid for
hours not worked.
