Snowdays

Just a reminder to everyone regarding snow days as we enter the winter season:

Under the A&R Contract (Article 16 sec 6 page 47): if you are reporting to work (not teleworking) and it is snowing you get a 1 hour grace period from the start of your shift to account for the weather conditions (this one hour is coded as regular time, it is not coded to Vac/Sick/PL).  If the severity of the travel conditions warrant more time, then there is an additional 1.5 hours of grace time allocated as well, however, this is additional 1.5 hours is a bit more subjective in determining whether it is granted.  If it is not granted it can be grieved or the employee can make up the excess time over the 1hr allocated or the employee can choose to use V/PL/Comp time.

There is some additional guidance on snow delays for those on Alternative Work Schedules (including Pure Flex) in MOU 8 of our contract (pages 109,110,111).

Remember, if it is a scheduled Telework day, there is no delayed start due to weather conditions.  If you lose power at home then you are obligated to report to the office and the above provisions would apply.
