Human Resources is providing information to employees about how to report their time following the snowstorms that impacted campus operations for four days. The storm created hazardous conditions on campus, blocking walkways and streets, causing a water main break and downing trees. Because of the significant safety concerns, university leadership made a decision to close campus for two days and delay opening for two additional days.
In light of the extraordinary nature of the events, university leadership decided that all employees who were scheduled to work on Feb. 25 and Feb. 27 when the campus was closed will receive their normal compensation. This is an exception to university policy and collective bargaining agreements that require employees to use accrued leave during a closure. For the two days campus opened late, employees will need to use paid leave—vacation, personal leave or compensatory time—for any time missed. The decision does not change the university’s general practice.
Additional information on time reporting is available on the Human Resources website.
