Employee ‘rights’ during snow, severe weather

[Agschmid]

19. As a manager during inclement weather...

I usually will call off the employees who live further out, since our business is slower during weather anyway. I offer them the option of coming in or not (if they do choose not to come in, many are PT they don't get paid). If my location actually were to close due to weather all staff on at the time would be paid for their shifts (at a 4 hour minimum payment) under our weather policy.

I also on a personal level always ask that people alert me when they get home so that I know they made it safely. In my field we don't often close, but we certainly will run bare bones when the weather is bad.

I feel my company does a good job with this policy.
