The President shall take steps necessary to deal with the situation and notify College employees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A. Use of Leave<\/strong><br \/>1. If the President closes the College as a result of inclement weather or emergency, no employees will be required to take any leave. Essential employees (i.e., security, grounds, maintenance, etc.) who are required to work on closed days will be provided with comparable time-off at a time approved by their supervisor.<br \/>2. If the College is open but the employee believes they cannot make it to the designated work site safely, the employee will be required to do one of the following:<br \/>a. Make-up the time on a schedule approved by the employee\u2019s immediate supervisor, if feasible;<br \/>b. Take annual, bonus or compensatory leave; or<br \/>c. Payroll deduction for time lost.<br \/>Make-up time must be completed before the end of the fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>B. Loss of Instructional Time<\/strong><br \/>Curriculum classes that are not held due to inclement weather or other emergencies should be either held remotely or rescheduled whenever possible. If rescheduled or remote class sessions are not possible, the College has determined that up to twenty percent (20%) of seated courses missed could be made up by alternatives including extra assignments, individual conferences, etc. In some instances, the College may choose to add additional minutes to the current class schedule, utilize student breaks as instructional make-up days or extend the length of the semester in order to meet instructional obligations.<br \/>In all circumstances, the College must be able to document how any instructional time that was not rescheduled was made up in order for the class hours to be reported for budget FTE reimbursement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Adopted:<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; During situations such as natural disasters, emergencies and\/or inclement weather, the President or their designee has the discretion to alter the College\u2019s operating schedule as needed.
