A. For a day or days when the University is officially declared as “Closed” by the President or appropriate Vice-President, employees shall not be required to charge vacation days, administrative leave, or personal holidays to avoid loss of pay.

B. In addition, on any day or days in which all classes are cancelled on a particular campus (Camden, Newark, or New Brunswick) by the appropriate Vice-President or Provost due to a weather or other emergency situation, the following will apply regarding attendance:

Lateness – The employee shall notify his/her supervisor as soon as possible if it is necessary to be late in reporting to work. The employee may charge any lost time to administrative leave, vacation, or personal holiday if available. If no such time is available, the employee will have his/her salary appropriately adjusted for the lost time. There will be no disciplinary action taken for such lateness.

Absence – The employee shall notify his/her supervisor as soon as possible if it is necessary that he/she be absent. The employee may charge the day to administrative leave, vacation, or personal holiday if available, or will have his/her salary appropriately adjusted. There will be no disciplinary action taken for such absence.

Leaving Early – The employee must request and receive permission from the appropriate supervisor to leave early. Such permission shall not be unreasonably denied. Employees who are allowed to leave early may charge the time to administrative leave, vacation, or personal holiday if available. If no such time is available, the employee will have his/her salary appropriately adjusted for the lost time.

C. Sections A and B of this Article do not apply to those employees previously designated as “essential” personnel. Essential personnel are required to report to work and remain at work unless advised differently by an appropriate supervisor.
