The School of Medicine does not follow the University weather closure policy (The School of Medicine will follow the University weather closure policy, 2.2.9, effective 10/17/07.).  When Creighton University closes, employees should check the Creighton University Weather Hotline at 280-5800 or listen to KFAB (AM-1110) for official announcements regarding the School of Medicine.  Unless it is specifically stated that clinic areas are closed, employees in all divisions, including research and non-clinical, are expected to report to work.

 

If the clinics are closed, Operations Managers will notify “essential” personnel if they are required to report to work.  Employees required to work, will be given compensatory time off equal to the total hours worked.  Compensatory time off must be used within the fiscal year.

 

When the clinics remain open and an employee does not report to work, they will be required to take vacation time.  Employees who report to work will be given compensatory time off equal to the total hours worked.  Compensatory time off must be used within the fiscal year.

 

In the event the decision is made to close the Department during the day, Operations Managers will be notified and are responsible for informing all personnel within their area.  Every attempt to release employees should be made, however, staff may be required to stay until patients have been contacted to cancel appointments and all patients in clinic have been seen.  Any employee required to stay past the official closing time will be given compensatory time off equal to the time worked past closing.  Employees, who leave work before an official closing, will be required to take vacation time.
