Weather or Emergency Closings

If the library system closes because of weather or for other appropriate emergencies, no loss of wages or leave is charged against full-time staff.

Early closings will not result in loss of pay for part-time employees who were at work at the time of early closing otherwise they will be expected to make up time lost or not be paid.

If the library system opens its branches late as the result of emergencies, employees are expected to report to work at the adjusted opening time. Employees who do not report on time will have lost time charged to annual leave.

Employees are urged to use discretion in attempting to travel to work during hazardous conditions. If conditions are such that the employee judges he/she cannot travel to work or will be late to work, he/she should contact the appropriate authority as soon as possible.

All employees should follow established operations procedures for weather related and other emergencies.
