Emergency Closing Time Reporting Information

03/16/17

Submitted on behalf of Cindy Reckdenwald, Director of Compensation and Workforce Planning and Donna Veres, Director of Payroll

Given the College officially closed on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 and Wednesday, March 15, 2017 due to a weather emergency, we offer the following information to assist employees and supervisors in completing on-line time cards: 

• Employees who were regularly scheduled to work during the official closing, but did not work, will be paid for their regularly scheduled hours.  These hours should be recorded as regular hours on the on-line time card.
   
• Employees who are on medical leave or who had previously scheduled vacation or personal time for March 14th and/or March 15th will not have these hours converted to emergency closing (regular hours). 
   
• All employees designated as “essential personnel” and who reported to work, will be compensated at their regular rate for their regularly scheduled hours.  In addition, they will receive one and one-half times their regular rate (time and a half) for all hours worked during this official closing.  On the on-line time card, regularly scheduled hours should be recorded as regular hours and the actual hours worked will be recorded as overtime at 1 ½.
   
• Temporary and part-time workers who are not benefit-eligible are not paid for emergency closings unless they are designated as “essential” and required to work. 

Please contact the Office of Human Resources with any questions or for assistance.
