Inclement Weather
Policy
Date: February 24, 2005
Severe Weather Conditions
In the event of severe weather conditions, employees are expected to use
their best judgment or report to work during regularly scheduled workdays
and observe their normal hours consistent with local conditions. Employees
not reporting to work will be charged vacation time for their period of
absence.
Late Arrival
For early morning storms when road conditions are hazardous due to snow
and ice, late arrival is understood and accepted. GPS will follow “late
arrival” announcements for Federal Governments employees when these
conditions exist, and employees are expected to report to work when road
conditions permit.
Early Departure
If early departure is warranted, the Company will announce the decision
to all employees. If no early departure decision has been made and an
employee feels compelled to depart early, he/she must clear their departure
with their immediate supervisor. Depending upon the situation, time absent
may be charged as vacation leave.
Cancellation of the Workday
When the Federal Government cancels the workday for Federal employees,
GPS’ on-site personnel may also take leave with/without pay for
lost time. GPS’ Headquarters will remain open as long as the weather
permits and it is safe to operate. Employees will be given the option
to take leave with/without pay during severe weather conditions. In the
event that GPS’ Headquarters has to shut down employees will be
charged leave.
