POL 5.125 Emergency Closings

If a Kirtland campus physically closes due to inclement weather or other emergency situation, business and instructional operations will switch to remote delivery to the fullest extent possible.

Only designated administrative and classified employees are expected to physically report to work if they are able to do so without undue risk or as provided under College Emergency Planning.

Non-exempt employees unable to perform their job responsibilities remotely due to the nature of their position at Kirtland would be compensated at their normal typical daily rate if they were scheduled to work before the closure (unless otherwise stipulated by the collective bargaining agreement).

Non-exempt, classified employees authorized and required to physically report to work during such closures will be paid double their regular hourly rate for hours worked on campus. Exceptions exist for employees travelling on college business or who are specifically hired to remove snow and ice. Such employees shall be paid straight time.
