In the event employees are directed to not report to work should school be called off for students, the employees shall be paid for all regular hours of work lost.

For all other situations not covered in B. above (such as, district-wide closures for less than a full school day, school delays, early releases, or school building closures), the following shall apply: Employees who are required to work will not be paid any extra wages. If school is delayed, custodians and maintenance employees will work their regular shift, even if their start time is delayed. Supervisors may approve a later start time if an employee’s conditions warrant. If an employee is approved in writing to leave early by his/her supervisor, he/she will be paid for the full shift.
