<div dir="ltr"><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Our transportation dept is considered 'essential personnel' so they are required to work as directed on snow days. We usually time the cleaning so it is when the storm is done--so they don't necessarily come in at their normal shift time. We normally do not need the whole crew---so most 'volunteer' to come in and are paid. Those who do not come in must take benefit time to be compensated. We have the 'right' to direct people to come in if necessary, but we have never had to do that--we normally have enough crew members to clean. They are paid their regular driving rate and if they work over 8 hours, they get OT (which is part of their contract). I do believe that if they work less, they still get paid their full shift of 8 hours. On snow days, usually their only job is to clean the fleet to be ready for school and sometimes they also work with our grounds crew to clean up building walkways, etc, so if it only takes a few hours to clean, they get their full 8 hours of pay.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><br clear="all"></div><div><div dir="ltr"
