(A) Under certain circumstances it may be necessary to close one or more County facilities due to natural hazards or catastrophes. If a facility is closed, employees will be notified via telephone, if possible. In the case of severe weather, employees should listen to local radio stations for information regarding closings and when the County will be open for business. Employees should also contact their Department Head to find out if their department is open.
(B) When a facility is closed, and an employee was scheduled to work that day, the employee is excused from work and will be paid their regular rate of pay for that day if he/she were scheduled to work. In the event that the employee is required to report for work during an emergency closing (such as maintenance or to secure records, etc.), the employee is not entitled to additional compensation.
