| With winter nearly upon us, the potential for inclement weather increases. Just a reminder that the university's emergency closing policy and associated pay provisions can be found on pages 86-88 of the Employee Handbook located on the HR website. Please review the information to identify the communication outlets used when there is a closing or delay, instructions for recording time in Workday, and pay provisions for essential employees who are required by their supervisor to work during emergency situations. |
