If the decision is made to close a particular office or facility, the Commissioner of Personnel must be notified immediately. Management must notify employees as soon as practical that a reduced work force situation exists, and must establish the starting and ending times to avoid any confusion and problems in determining benefits, if any, for second and third shift employees. List of employees who were authorized to work during the closing. List of employees who were out on approved leave during the closing. The same provisions apply to delayed openings, early closing, or reduced work force situations.
Many employees have different work shift starting and ending times.
As a result, a delayed opening or early closing may result in a difference in the amount of time not worked because of the emergency.
