| ABSENCES
DUE TO ADVERSE WEATHER |
| 1. |
The
geographical location of Southwestern Community
College and diversity of our student population
and programs make it extremely difficult to
apply a uniform policy regarding how operations
in the three-county service area will be affected
in time of adverse weather conditions. |
| 2. |
| Absences
due to adverse weather conditions will
be handled as follows: |
| A. |
Faculty
- instructors are employed on an assignment
basis. In the event of cancellation
of classes, instructors are expected
to follow the general schedule for students
in make-up schedule. In the event the
faculty member is unable to report,
and classes are not cancelled, personal
leave must be used for this absence.
|
| B. |
| Staff
- each employee must,
with the agreement of his supervisor,
elect one of the following in
adjusting time lost: |
| 1. |
Make
up time as authorized by the supervisor. |
| 2. |
Use
of a day of vacation leave. |
| 3. |
Payroll
deduction for time lost. |
|
|
| 3.
|
Special
Provisions - when catastrophic,
life-threatening weather conditions occur,
as created by blizzards, hurricanes, tornadoes,
or floods, it may become necessary for college
officials to close or evacuate the college.
If these decisions are made, employees will
not be required to make up time lost from
work during the period officially declared
hazardous to life and safety except as may
be required for the make-up of missed classes.
