Pay for School Closure (Snow Days)

The recent period of inclement weather and subsequent closure of the school has raised several questions regarding pay for “snow days”, including what happens if a non-exempt employee is required to work when the school is closed.

The recent period of inclement weather and subsequent closure of the school has raised several questions regarding pay for “snow days”, including what happens if a non-exempt employee is required to work when the school is closed.

All other non-exempt employees (OEE): Employees who were scheduled but not required to work when the campus was closed will receive their regular pay. Employees who were required to work will receive straight time pay for hours they were scheduled to work during the closure, plus straight time pay for hours actually worked during the closure.

Exempt employees do not receive additional pay for work during school closures. However, for ALL employees, any pre-approved vacation and sick time that occurred when the campus was closed will not be charged against vacation or sick leave accruals.
