Emergency closures

There may be times when certain areas of the College are unable to conduct business because of an emergency. Normally, if an emergency closure is designated by the president or a president’s staff member, those employees who are directed to not report to work or to not remain at work will be paid at their regular rate of pay for a maximum of either the total of their scheduled hours during the emergency or the balance of their work day, whichever is less. During times when the entire College is officially closed due to emergency, employees will normally be paid for regular scheduled hours not worked. However, the administration reserves the right to determine that salaries will not be continued during an emergency closure. 

An hourly paid employee who reports to work under an emergency call-in will receive no less than two hours of compensation at the employee’s regular rate of pay. Hourly paid employees required to work on campus during an official closure due to severe weather will be paid double time. 

Severe weather policy

Official closings will be announced on the College’s web portal and may also be communicated via the College’s email system. During normal working hours, supervisors will notify employees of an official closing. Between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. the College may also notify certain local radio and television stations.
