Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 6, September 16, 2024

(a) The Office of State Human Resources shall establish guidelines for accounting for time or releasing employees from work when:

(1) adverse weather or other conditions of a serious nature prohibit some employees from reporting to work but do not necessitate the closing of state offices or facilities; or

(2) emergency conditions necessitate the closing of state offices or curtailing of operations.

(b) Definitions

(1) Adverse weather and other conditions of a serious nature: Adverse weather or other conditions that may prohibit some employees from reporting to work but do not necessitate the closing of facilities or curtailing of operations.

(2) Emergency closing conditions: Conditions that necessitate the closing of a state facility or the curtailing of operations. Conditions that may be hazardous to life or safety and that may warrant closing of State offices include: catastrophic life threatening weather (snow, ice, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood or other natural disaster), fire, equipment failure, disruption of power or water, contamination by hazardous agents, terrorist acts or forced evacuations from the agency or work site.

(3) Emergency employees: Employees who are required to work during an emergency because their positions have been designated by their agencies as mandatory/essential to agency operations during emergencies.

(c) The geographical location and diversity of state services and programs make it impossible to apply a uniform statewide policy regarding how operations will be affected by weather or other conditions; therefore, decisions must be made on an individual basis. Some operations must continue to provide services without regard to weather or other conditions; therefore, decisions must be made on an individual basis. Some operations must continue to provide services without regard to weather or other conditions. Therefore, agency heads shall predetermine and designate the mandatory operations which will remain open and designate the emergency employees to staff these operations.
