EmployEE Handbook - Marymount University

An unreported absence by an employee constitutes grounds for immediate dismissal. An
employee will be considered to have abandoned their job (i.e., quit voluntarily) after an
absence of three consecutive days without notification.
Inclement Weather Absence
In the event of severe weather or other unusual conditions, Marymount University may
delay or cancel classes, or close. Under these circumstances, Marymount employees may
not be required to report to work. Information about delays, cancellations, and closings
will be made available as soon as possible once a decision is made, through a variety of
media outlets and through MU Alerts.
1. Classes and/or events may be cancelled or delayed due to weather or other
unusual conditions. In this case, University offices will be open and operations
other than classes or designated events will be conducted. Emergency
employees* must report for work according to their normal schedules. Other
employees who are unable to report for work because of the weather conditions
may use “liberal leave” (i.e. they may charge the day to either sick leave or
annual leave).
2. The University as a whole may be closed due to severe weather or other unusual
conditions. In this event, all classes and events will be cancelled, and University
offices will be closed. Only essential operations will be conducted (security,
services for resident students, etc.) during such periods. In this case, emergency
employees must report for work according to their normal schedules. All full-time
employees (employees scheduled to work more than 30 hours per week) should
report the time as “emergency paid leave.” The inclement weather premium rate
will be paid only if the time of school closing falls within the shift worked or
subsequent shifts during closure on the same work day.
* Emergency employees include designated staff in the following offices: Campus Safety
and Transportation, Mailroom, Payroll, Physical Plant, Information Technology, Campus
and Residential Services, Library and Student Health Center.
