PERS.6
Snow and Emergency Closings:
In the event of inclement weather conditions or other unforseen emergency situations, the Director or Assistant Director will have the discretion to close, after having notified a member of the Board of Trustees of this decision.
Should the Westford Public Schools close for inclement weather, the Library will automatically try to open at noon (12:00PM), Story Hours will be cancelled, the staff will be encouraged to report into work as soon as possible, and will be paid for regularly scheduled hours of work. The emergency telephone tree will begin by 7:00AM.
If the Director determines to close the library because of foul weather during the course of the business day, staff who have reported to work will be paid for the entirety of the regularly scheduled work shift, no matter what portion of the shift has been worked. If the staff is directed not to report into work (i.e. contacted prior to the beginning of the regularly scheduled shift), those hours which would have been worked will be paid in full. Staff which elects not to report into work when the library is open for business will have the option of making up those hours which were not worked within the same pay period.
Voted and approved 9/8/87; Revised 9/4/90; 9/9/02.
