Emergency and extraordinary closure (proposal to vote on)

The Senior Pastor may determine that it is in the best interest of the Church to be closed due to weather or other conditions. Staff members are allowed to decide if their own commute is unsafe. If the Church is closed, or if some staff cannot be at the Church, the Senior Pastor will make sure any necessary work is done and workload is distributed equitably. Any re-distribution of workload could include:  working from home, shifting work to other time slots, paid time off, unpaid time off, or use of vacation time. The Senior Pastor will let HRC know of any adjustments to hours worked and employees will communicate with Finance via their normal payroll input.

All Church meetings scheduled by the pastorate and staff are cancelled on School Snow days. Committees, outside groups with keys, and Church members may use the Church based on their own assessment of conditions.
