Once so announced, it is presumed that all employees are aware of the determination. Announcements of closing or “state of emergency” by any federal, state or local governmental agency will not pertain to the Hospital. 2. Employees will be assigned at the sole discretion of the Hospital as either: a. Category Red employees – those employees whose presence the Hospital has determined as necessary to the provision of safe, effective and efficient services. b.

The determination as to which Category employees are assigned shall be made by the applicable department, in the sole discretion of the department. Employees shall be advised of their assigned Category in writing, and will sign an acknowledgment of receipt of the assignment information. This acknowledgment will be forwarded to Human Resources by the department for inclusion in the employee’s personnel file.

Employees that are already working at the time that the Inclement Weather Emergency begins shall be paid a differential of twenty (20%) percent of their regular rate for all hours continuously worked following the time that the Hospital established as the start time for the Inclement Weather Emergency. c. Employees that were not scheduled to work during an Inclement Weather Emergency, but who nevertheless come to work voluntarily at the request of management, shall be paid a differential of twenty (20%) percent of their regular rate for all hours continuously worked following the time that the Hospital established as the start time for the Inclement Weather Emergency. d.

Employees must adhere to the department’s call in procedure regarding lateness. 5. If the Hospital declares an Inclement Weather Emergency, exempt Category Red employees will not be paid additional compensation for working during the Inclement Weather Emergency, but may, at the discretion of management, be provided compensatory time. If a Category Red exempt employee does not come to work at all on a declared Inclement Weather Emergency, he/she will be salary deleted for the assigned shift missed and the absence may also be counted in accordance with the Attendance Control Policy at the discretion of management. However, the Department Head may advise a Category Red employee in writing (which includes an e-mail) that the employee does not need to come to work that day, in which case, the employee may utilize Float Holiday time or accrued vacation time in order to be paid for the shift not worked during the Inclement Weather Emergency. 6. Except as provided in Paragraph 5 above, Category Red non-exempt and exempt employees may not use Float Holiday time, Compensatory time, or Vacation time on any day that is declared an Inclement Weather Emergency, unless the time off was approved prior to the declaration. 7. Category Blue exempt and non-exempt employees will not report to work on a declared Inclement Weather Emergency. Category Blue exempt and non-exempt employees will utilize Float Holiday time or accrued vacation time in order to be paid for the shift not worked during an Inclement Weather Emergency, or they will be salary deleted if there is no such time available to them. To the extent that a Category Blue employee is already working at the time that an Inclement Weather Emergency is declared and is directed to go home by management before the completion of their shift, the Category Blue employee shall suffer no loss of pay as a result of management’s determination to send them home. 8. All Category Red staff that is on duty at the time when an Inclement Weather Emergency is declared must remain on duty until management authorizes the employee to leave. In no case, however, will management mandate an employee to work more than sixteen (16) consecutive hours without a significant rest break [four (4) hours minimum]. The rest break will be unpaid and not count as time worked. 9. The Hospital maintains the right to require a Category Blue employee to report to work if management determines they are needed in order to provide safe and effective patient care. In those cases, they will be treated as a Category Red employee for that instance. 10. To the extent operationally feasible, the Hospital shall provide reasonable and safe accommodations for employees to sleep over at the Hospital before an anticipated Inclement Weather Emergency or following their shift that occurred during a declared Inclement Weather Emergency. 11. The Hospital shall provide either a meal or a voucher for a meal to any employee working or resting at the Hospital for all meals that occur during the Inclement Weather Emergency.

The decision to declare an “Inclement Weather Emergency” will be announced on the Hospital’s intranet page, on the Inclement Weather Hotline (telephone), page and/or by any other reasonable means of communication. Once so announced, it is presumed that all employees are aware of the determination. Announcements of closing or “state of emergency” by any federal, state or local governmental agency will not pertain to the University Hospital. 2. Employees will be assigned at the sole discretion of the Hospital as either: a. Category Red employees – those employees whose presence the Hospital has determined as necessary to the provision of safe, effective and efficient services. b. Category Blue employees – those employees whom the Hospital has determined may be absent for a limited period of time without impacting critical services to patients and the community. 3. The determination as to which Category employees are assigned shall be made by the applicable department, in the sole discretion of the department. Employees shall be advised of their assigned Category in writing, and will sign an acknowledgment of receipt of the assignment information. This acknowledgment will be forwarded to Human Resources by the department for inclusion in the employee’s personnel file. If an employee is not so advised in writing, the employee shall default to Category Red. When the department deems it necessary to change the designation, it must advise the employee of the change and obtain a revised signed acknowledgment form from the employee, which shall be promptly forwarded to Human Resources. 4. If the Hospital declares an Inclement Weather Emergency, non-exempt Category Red employees will be paid as follows: a. Employees who arrive for their assigned shifts on time will be paid a differential of twenty (20%) percent % of their regular rate of pay for all hours worked. b. Employees that are already working at the time that the Inclement Weather Emergency begins shall be paid a differential of twenty (20%) percent of their regular rate for all hours continuously worked following the time that the Hospital established as the start time for the Inclement Weather Emergency. c. Employees that were not scheduled to work during an Inclement Weather Emergency, but who nevertheless come to work voluntarily at the request of management, shall be paid a differential of twenty (20%) percent of their regular rate for all hours continuously worked following the time that the Hospital established as the start time for the Inclement Weather Emergency. d. Employees who report up to two (2) hours late for their assigned shift shall be paid their regular rate of pay for all hours worked and will be paid for the time, up to two hours, they were late. Employees must adhere to the department’s call in procedure regarding lateness. e. c. Employees who report for their assigned shift more than two hours late will be paid their regular rate of pay for hours actually worked only. Employees must adhere to the department’s call in procedure regarding lateness. 5. If the Hospital declares an Inclement Weather Emergency, exempt Category Red employees will not be paid additional compensation for working during the Inclement Weather Emergency, but may, at the discretion of management, be provided compensatory time. If a Category Red exempt employee does not come to work at all on a declared Inclement Weather Emergency, he/she will be salary deleted for the assigned shift missed and the absence may also be counted in accordance with the Attendance Control Policy subject to discipline at the discretion of for management. However, the Department Head may advise a Category Red employee in writing (which includes an e-mail) that the employee does not need to come to work that day, in which case, the employee may utilize Float Holiday time or accrued vacation time in order to be paid for the shift not worked during the Inclement Weather Emergency. 6. Except as provided in Paragraph 5 above, Category Red non-exempt and exempt employees may not use Float Holiday time, Compensatory time, or Vacation time on any day that is declared an Inclement Weather Emergency, unless the time off was approved prior to the declaration. 7. Category Blue exempt and non-exempt employees will not report to work on a declared Inclement Weather Emergency. Category Blue exempt and non-non- exempt employees will utilize Float Holiday time or accrued vacation time in order to be paid for the shift not worked during an Inclement Weather Emergency, or they will be salary deleted if there is no such time available to them. To the extent that a Category Blue employee is already working at the time that an Inclement Weather Emergency is declared and is directed to go home by management before the completion of their shift, the Category Blue employee shall suffer no loss of pay as a result of management’s determination to send them home. 8. All Category Red staff that is on duty at the time when an Inclement Weather Emergency is declared must remain on duty until management authorizes the employee to leave. In no case, however, will management mandate an employee to work more than sixteen (16) consecutive hours without a significant rest break [four (4) hours minimum]. The rest break will be unpaid and not count as time worked. 9. The Hospital maintains the right to require a Category Blue employee to report to work if management determines they are needed in order to provide safe and effective patient care. In those cases, they will be treated as a Category Red employee for that instance. 10. To the extent operationally feasible, the Hospital shall provide reasonable and safe accommodations for employees to sleep over at the Hospital before an anticipated Inclement Weather Emergency or following their shift that occurred during a declared Inclement Weather Emergency. 11. The Hospital shall provide either a meal or a voucher for a meal to any employee working or resting at the Hospital for all meals that occur during the Inclement Weather Emergency.
