West Virginia Code of State Rules › Agency 135 - Community And Technical College Education › Title 135 - LEGISLATIVE RULE WEST VIRGINIA COUNCIL FOR COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE EDUCATION › Series 135-38 - Employee Leave › Section 135-38-13 - Managing Work Time in Areas Affected by Interruption to Utility Service or Similar Situations

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
13.1.
				Utility Service Interruptions - When extended power and utility service
				interruptions occur, administrators should make arrangements for employees'
				usual work routine to be accomplished at alternate work locations, or make
				affected employees available to other administrators for work in other areas.
				Also, if an administrator deems it advisable and the employee agrees, time off
				during the utility service interruption may be granted and charged against an
				employee's accumulated annual leave. Combinations of the above alternatives may
				be necessary, but in all cases interruptions of work schedules must be dealt
				with in accordance with applicable laws, including West Virginia Code 12-3-13.
				This law is interpreted to mean that if pay is associated with the absence from
				work, the absence must be charged to accumulated annual leave.
13.2. Emergency Situations - In the event
				that an emergency exists, the president, in conjunction with local or state
				public safety officials, has the authority to comply with the emergency
				situation and close the institution. Such a declaration will be transmitted to
				the chancellor of the Council for Community and Technical College Education.
				The president, working with public safety officials, will determine when the
				emergency condition no longer exists. Should an employee be required to work by
				the president or her/his designee during a declared emergency, the time worked
				shall be compensated according to the provisions of Series 8. Work time lost by
				any employee during a declared emergency will be considered regular work time
				for pay purposes and will not require that the time be charged to annual leave
				nor will there be a requirement that the time be made up.
13.3. Absences from work due to weather
				conditions other than during a declared emergency must be charged against
				accumulated annual leave, accumulated compensatory time, or the employee must
				be removed from the payroll for the time in question. Where institutions employ
				the "floating holiday" concept, the holiday record may be charged. Sick leave
				may not be charged for absence due to weather. Time lost from work may be made
				up in the same work week at the discretion of the employee's
				supervisor.
