[Tiimes-extended] UCAR Inclement Weather and Closure Policies and Procedures

[Terri Cantrell]

>From Steve Sadler:


In anticipation of potential inclement weather I’d like to reiterate 
UCAR’s policy on closing our facilities. There are two policies which 
are applicable, 4-1 and 6-12. UCAR makes every reasonable effort to keep 
our facilities open (4-1). This is necessary because many of our 
operations are continuous, uninterruptable or involve visitors and 
conference attendees from locations other than the immediate area. Even 
though schools, businesses and local governments may close, except in 
extreme circumstances, closure is not a viable alternative for UCAR.



We understand that during inclement weather employees may have personal 
needs necessitating flexibility in their work schedules. To assist 
employees, UCAR has adopted a policy for Work and Family (6-12). 
Employees and supervisors are urged to work together to utilize Flexible 
Work Alternatives (6-12) during inclement weather. Employees may also 
use PTO if necessary to address personal needs and issues resulting from 
inclement weather.



UCAR’s procedures during inclement weather include making and posting a 
closure decision by 6 a.m. to 303-497-1100. In the unlikely event of a 
delayed opening or closure UCAR will also distribute this information 
via UCAR voice and e-mail. UCAR also provides all closure information to 
local media outlets.



Regards,

Steve
