An Emergency School Closing includes snow days, inclement weather days and any other closing of school operations on a regularly scheduled school day. Employees previously scheduled to work the day must submit a time off request to your Supervisor ASAP after the Emergency day so approvals can be completed before the end of the week allowing you to submit your timesheet.

The time off options, differ for non-twelve month employees and when the day lost to the emergency closing is to be rescheduled. Carefully read the language below from the Employee Handbook, Part III, Section 2 Emergency School Closings. Bold text emphasizes sections most relevant to payroll.

1. All 12 month employees are expected to report to work when school is closed due to inclement weather or situations beyond the control of the District, if at all possible. If it is not possible for an employee to report to work, they are required to notify their immediate supervisor and request use of available vacation, personal leave or as applicable, emergency leave.
2. All non-12 month employees shall not report to work on days when the school to which they are assigned is closed due to inclement weather or situations beyond the control of the District. The only exception to this will be when timely delivery of critical services necessitates the employee working that day. Pre-authorization by the Supervisor is required for this exception.
   1. In the event the day/time is made up, the employees shall be required to make up the days as scheduled by the District.
   2. In the event the day/time is not made up:
      1. employee may request use of available personal leave or as applicable emergency leave from their immediate supervisor, or
      2. employee may take the day as unpaid.
3. If employees have started at their regularly scheduled time and a public notification or personal notification of the school closure is made after that time, those employees will only be paid for the actual hours worked on such day, but no less than one (1) hour.

If you elect an unpaid day

1. Email the payroll department (or HR) ASAP to request the Unpaid Day so the unpaid day can be added to your timesheet.
2. The benefit portion of your health and dental premium for the unpaid day must be paid by you.
   1. Upon electing an Unpaid Day you will receive an email from the payroll department identifying the amount due to the District including the due date.
   2. Reference Section 14 - Unpaid Leaves of Absence, B., 3. of the Employee Handbook regarding the payment of Benefits on an Unpaid Leave.
