Emergency Closing definition

Emergency Closing shall be defined as those instances when it has been determined by the College that there is a direct threat to the health, safety and well-being of employees and the College has been closed. An “emergency closing” differs from a “delayed opening” or the “cancellation of classes.” In addition to the employee’s base pay employees required to work during “emergency closings” shall be paid double the employees hourly rate for all hours worked in such situation. Essential employees as determined by the College will be expected to work during inclement weather or unforeseen conditions even when the College is closed. Employees unable to report and who follow proper call-in procedures may elect to take available PTO for the absence.
