body
Financial Impact:
There is no fiscal impact.
Background Information:
From time to time, situations have occurred where power outages and inclement weather events have been so extreme it was not safe or practical to have employees present at work or traveling to work.
The intent of this Personnel Rule is to provide guidance to employees as well as supervisors in the event of a power failure, power outage, disruption, or interruption, either planned or unplanned, power outages and inclement weather events. This personnel rule also includes information on reporting to work, continuation of work plan, compensation, and disaster service worker.
The Chief Administrator or his / her designee will be the designated authority for authorization of a delayed opening or early release depending on the circumstances.
When emergency situations result in a power failure, this rule will be superseded by the County disaster plan as integrated by the Office of Emergency Services (OES).
The draft was created by the Personnel Department, then routed through the Personnel Review Committee, the Department Heads, and the bargaining units, if applicable. The process then continues to presentation and/or approval by the full Board, which is the final step in approving this Personnel Rule.
