What happens if severe weather conditions develop during the course of the working day?
Answer
Where severe weather conditions develop during the course of the working day, and it appears that staff may have difficulty in travelling home, it will be for the Vice-Chancellor (or a nominated deputy) to decide whether to send staff home early. In making such a decision, due regard will be given to advice and information from appropriate sources, e.g. local radio, police and motoring organisations. Where a decision is made to send staff home before the end of the normal working day no deduction from pay will be made.
