Xxxxx X. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx. The Buffalo News The Buffalo Newspaper Guild Date: 10/10/97 Renewed By: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx Renewed By: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Date: 8/15/02 All bargaining unit members are expected to use their best efforts in attempting to get to work even during inclement weather conditions. In the event that a weather-related emergency has been declared by a governmental body of competent authority, or its policy agency, and such weather-related emergency directly prevents the bargaining-unit member from coming to work, the bargaining-unit member may elect to use accrued personal time (i.e. vacation or float), or to take the day off without pay, or by mutual agreement between an employee and management, to make up the missed time so long as such make up occurs within fourteen (14) days of the day missed, and so long as schedule does not adversely affect any other Guild member. For the purposes of this agreement, weather-related emergency would include a driving ban, the closing of a municipality, or the cessation of public transportation, resulting in the bargaining unit member being directly prevented from coming to work. In the event that an employee is already at work when a weather related emergency is declared pursuant to the provisions of the above inclement weather policy and such employee desires to leave work due to this declared weather emergency, said employee will be allowed to leave work. Employees who leave work under this policy shall have the same options as listed above for the employees who are unable to come to work. Employees ordered to leave work shall be paid for the remainder of the shift.
