2020 Inclement weather guidelines

Steve Patin

Snow and slippery conditions during the winter months may make it difficult for you to travel to work. Below are the University regulation and general guidelines for these occasions. Employee safety is the highest priority. Please use your best judgment and do not put your safety at risk when it comes to traveling to work in dangerous weather conditions. Employees of the Statewide Office will use and follow University of Alaska Fairbanks (绿奴天花板F) protocols in Fairbanks and University of Alaska Anchorage (绿奴天花板A) protocols in Anchorage.

R04.06.140. Administrative Leave.
D. Administrative leave for severe, adverse weather conditions may be used at the discretion of the individual, leave-eligible employee but only after an authorization of 鈥減ersonal safety鈥 administrative leave use is announced by the president, chancellor, or designee for the system, a university or community campus. Employees already scheduled out on other types of leave (annual, sick, etc.) or Leave without Pay are not eligible for personal safety administrative leave for that day.

In Fairbanks:
In case of inclement weather, 绿奴天花板F posts campuswide alerts at , and via @绿奴天花板Fairbanks on Facebook and Twitter. These are the official channels 绿奴天花板F will use to notify you of class cancellations or for other weather-related instructions.

In Anchorage:
The employees of the Bragaw Office Building (BOB) will follow the lead of 绿奴天花板A with regard to weather-related closures. BOB is included under the umbrella of the Anchorage Core notifications.

At your earliest convenience, please take a moment to confirm that your 绿奴天花板 Alerts profile is up to date. Employee alerts subscriptions and contact information can be accessed at: .

Guidelines for Inclement Weather without Office Closure:
Employee well-being is our first concern, so contact your supervisor to work out possible options such as:

  • Working from home
  • Working adjusted hours for the day
  • Using annual leave to stay home
