Leave of Absence, Employee Responsibilities During Inclement Weather

From Administrative Regulation HR-6.1.1, the salient points for you to consider are:

1. It is the expected that employees will make a reasonable effort to report to work at their regular work location (Section 1.2).

2. If, due to inclement weather, an employee is unable to report to their regular work location, the employee is expected to make a reasonable effort to report to the closest alternate work location (Section 1.3) and to inform their principal or supervisor forthwith if they do so (Section 1.4).

3. As road and/or weather conditions improve during the day, an employee is expected to report to the employee's regular work location later in the day, either from the alternate work location, or from home (Section 1.5).

4. Where an employee is unable to report for work at any work location due to inclement weather, for either all or part of a day, the decision regarding whether or not the employee will be paid, or if pay is to be prorated, will be made by the appropriate superintendent on the recommendation of the immediate supervisor or principal (Section 2.1 part).

5. For 4. Above, the employee is required to submit a completed Request to be Absent form to the principal or supervisor, who will insert their recommendation and forward the form to Human Resources as usual. HR will collate them for a particular inclement weather day and forward to superintendents for consideration.

Please direct any questions to your principal.
