5.10 Emergency Closings

Emergencies such as severe weather, fires, power failures, or earthquakes, can disrupt company operations as well as endanger employees' well-being. In extreme cases, these circumstances may require the closing of a work facility.

When operations are officially closed due to emergency conditions, the time off from scheduled work will be unpaid. However, with supervisory approval, employees may use available paid leave time, such as unused vacation benefits.

In cases where the company is offically open, employees who fail to report for work will not be paid for the time off. If conditions delay or prevent you from reporting to work, you should notify your supervisor as soon as possible. Employees may request available paid leave time such as unused vacation benefits.

Employees in essential operations may be asked to work on a day when operations are officially closed. In these circumstances, employees who work will receive regular pay.
