Snow spinoff...missing work

if u can't make it on on a busy snow day, are you to use a vac or personal day for when u can't make it in

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

I teach in NYC if we aren't given a snow day and it's bad I use a sick day.

When I used to work in an office and it was bad I had to take a sick day. I took the train and subway and worked in the city.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

I think it depends on your office.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

if it is snow over a certain amount - i think like six inches - my work cannot take a day from us (sick, vaca, personal). it is an excused absence - no questions asked. not sure how it works with getting paid though. we are in a union - i have yet to encounter a situation where i would use this so i'm wondering how that works.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

I teach, if we aren't off I have to get in, it would be hard to get a sub in.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

I techincally work for myself- and don't get paid time off- so I will only not work if it's really bad

if it's a day I have an open house- my broker will tell me not to do the open (people don't come in the snow)

I will work from home on a week day and relax on the weekend

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

I use personal days because they are use them or lose them days. I get to carry unused sick and vacation days from one year to the next.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

We are forced to get into work before the snow hits. If we don't, there is hell to pay.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

I have to use a vacation day.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

If I have to stay home tomorrow, I'll probably work from home. Otherwise, if I feel lazy, I'll take a personal day.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

I work for the county, and we have to take a sick, personal or vacation day if we can't make it in because our building never ever closes (kind of like the police).

I also think we have the option of taking unpaid leave but I'm not sure.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

We dont get paid for calling in on a snow day since I work in healthcare and we do not close. Unless we can provide a dr's note that we were actually sick.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

we never close and if we dont come in they automatically take a vacation day but we can be as late as we want- so literally I could come in at 2pm and no one would say anything- so weird

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

Yesterday, my boss, inmy small office of 4, including me, told me that if it was hard for me to get into work, that I could take the day.

Today, I see an email from him to a coworkere saying, oh she could take the subway.
umm..no, atually, there ARE delays when it snows w/the subway.

im so fed up

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

i typically work from home in that case. Or if they close (which never happens) it would just be a snow day. But I'd probably still work from home.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

I work from home. Luckily i can do my job from anywhere so as long as I have my laptop I am good to go.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

We get docked a vacation day.

I understand the need to do that. I just feel with storms like the one that is going to hit us tonight/tomorrow, they shouldn't hold it against us.

It'll take me about 2 hours to get in & more than likely they'll tell us to leave around 1:00. Which will mean 3 hours to get home

I have to come in because I'm banking all my vacation days for maternity leave

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

I can usually work from home, so I don't take a vacation or personal day.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

i work for a college and the state NEVER closes (they cancel class but the staff is still required to show up) so its personal, vacation or in this case this week is a floating holiday i will get for friday.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

we don't close, so if it's really bad out and we can't make it in, we can stay home, but you're expected to work from home.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

Vacation day

Our building/company never closes. Even salaried, exempt employees have to use a vacation day, even though we have "unlimited" sick days.

I have a feeling this is enforced on a departmental basis though.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

If it's a day that I work (I work PT), I work from home.

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

We don't get personal days so it's either a vacation or sick day........however it's called in is what will be marked.

If you call in sick on a snow day, they mark it as that. Otherwise, it's taken as a vacation day.

But as of now, there's a high chance our office will be closed and we don't have to worry about using a day!

Re: Snow spinoff...missing work

From what I've been told, we never have snow days. I work in the city and there are several people that live in the city so they can get to work. I won't be able to and I'll have to use a PTO day, which pisses me the hell off because I can work from home.
