(from NAU Emergency Closure Policy and Procedures)
If employees choose not to attend work or leave early when a closure has not been declared, compensatory time (for FLSA non-exempt employees), vacation, or absence without pay shall be used to account for the absence. The employee must follow normal department absence procedures. Supervisors are encouraged to be flexible with employee work schedules when feasible, balanced with the need to maintain the ongoing operations of the University.
Other options to cover employee work time missed when the University remains open may include:
-
Flexible scheduling (FLSA law requires the time missed be made up within the same work week for FLSA non-exempt employees.)
-
Telework (work from home or other location)
The options listed above may not be reasonable in all employee and job situations and will be granted at the discretion of the supervisor.
