SEATTLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT
FROM: Fred Schuneman, Interim Chief Human Resources Officer
SUBJECT: Suspended Operations
DATE: Updated Friday, Jan 2.
In the case of suspended operations (SCCD Policy & Procedures 253), the following process should be used regarding leave reporting and compensation issues:
EXEMPT EMPLOYEES – In the event of suspended operations or employees unable to report to work due to severe inclement weather, exempt employees will not experience any loss in pay.
SCCD Procedure 253.60.1 states; “Faculty and administrators who are not required to work during periods of suspended operations shall have such days excluded from their annual contractual obligation.”
FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME FACULTY – Faculty members are asked to make up canceled classes with alternate non-instructional duties as mutually agreed to with their unit administrator.
CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES – Please refer to the Agreement, Article 15, Page 35.
15.1 If the Chief Executive Officer or designee of the institution determines that the public health, property or safety is jeopardized and it is advisable due to emergency conditions to suspend the operation of all or any portion of the institution, the following will govern classified employees:
A. Employees scheduled and not required to work during the disruption will have no loss in pay for the first day.
B. The following options will be made available to the affected employees who are not required to work for the balance of the closure:
1. Vacation leave;
2. Personal holiday;
3. Accrued compensatory time (where applicable);
4. Leave without pay; or
5. Employee-requested schedule changes in accordance with Article 6.3 B.4 and 6.8 F and G (page 15 and 16).
C. Employees required to work during the disruption will receive one and one half (1-1/2) times their regular pay for work performed during the period of suspended operation. Overtime worked during the closure will be compensated according to Article 7, Overtime, of this Agreement.
15.2 The options listed in Subsection 15.1.B, above, will be made available to employees who are unable to report to work due to severe inclement weather.

I'm curious if SCCC or Seattle Colleges is going to fix the closure notification information. I signed up for an alert to be texted to my phone if we were to be closed and I didn't receive notification any of the days for closure or delayed start.
Also, I feel like SCCC or Seattle Colleges should standardize a time that the closure or delay will be decided. That way, we're not already to work before we find out (since we can't be notified in transit without e-mail capable cell phones). They could issues e-mail capable cell phones and pay those bills instead if that easier.
If you're having trouble with campus alert, try subscribing again. Remember, it's a two-step process. You subscribe and then must confirm with a code you receive by text message once you sign up. Give me a call if you're still having trouble. The campus alert system in general worked very well during the snow storm.
Regarding a standardized time for closure decisions, I wish it were that easy. Unfortunately, information is not readily available at 4:30 or 5 a.m. Moreover, we don't have anyone on campus until 5:30 a.m. at the earliest, so it's hard to know what's happening on Capitol Hill. Also, we don't always know what the weather will do or which bus routes are running or not. There are several of us (including the President) up early to try and make the decision as quickly as possible.
very nice information resource..
If staff were told not to come in, then the employer should pay them. If staff claimed not to be able to come in, they should have the choice of annual leave or unpaid leave (or if their contract allows paid emergency leave and childcare was involved because school etc was closed, then that as well). Or choice of making hours up if their employment can allow that.
