A text, web or news posting will inform employees if there is cancellation of work. An announcement canceling classes at Boston College does not mean that there is cancellation of work.聽The announcement will specifically mention that Boston College is 鈥渃losed鈥� when employees are not expected to report. No notification means that the University is operating on a normal schedule.
Even when the University is closed due to weather, there will be certain essential personnel required to work and certain offices/functions operational.聽 It is expected in these cases that some arrangement for coverage or standby be made between the director and the office staff.聽 If an employee is required to work on such a day, compensatory time off will be provided to that employee and will be scheduled at a time that is mutually convenient to the department and the affected individual.
Early Dismissal
The decision regarding early dismissal of employees because of weather or other emergency will be communicated by the Executive Vice President and Provost through postings on the following websites: 蜜桃传媒Info, 蜜桃传媒 Emergency, 蜜桃传媒 Home. Employees may also call 1-888-BOS-COLL or 617-552-INFO for information on early dismissal.聽 Unless otherwise notified, all staff members are expected to remain at work until the closing hour.
