(A) Periodic emergencies, such as severe weather or power failures, can disrupt city operations, sometimes requiring closing of a work facility. When such emergencies occur during non-working hours, local radio and/or television stations will be asked to broadcast notification of the closing.
(B) When a city work facility is officially closed by the Mayor for emergency conditions, before the beginning of the workday, the time off from scheduled work will be unpaid to full and part-time employees affected by the facility closing. However, full-time employees may receive compensation for the day by using vacation, personal days, compensatory time, or by making up this time within the pay period.
(C) Any employee who reports to work and the facility is later closed due to an emergency after his or her arrival shall be paid for all hours actually worked that day, not the entire workday. However, full-time employees may receive compensation for the time by using vacation, personal days, compensatory time, or by making up this time within the pay period.
(D) The Mayor/department head of those employees working in essential service departments will determine the work schedule of their employees during the period of time the closing is in effect. Employees who work during the closing will be compensated at their regular rate of pay and will receive time and a half for time exceeding 40 hours in the work week, as is customary. No bonus pay or compensatory time on top of actual time worked will be received by employees working during the closing.
