Facility Closure. A facility closure is an emergency which does not require response or assistance by the public safety agencies serving the community in which the facility is located. In a facility closure, all evacuation efforts are managed by and between participating hospitals and HCOs. An example of a facility closure would be the loss of public utility services on a nice day, when no life-threatening conditions are present.

Facility Closure. The Company recognizes the fact that there are times when inclement weather, a natural disaster, or any other planned or unplanned event may close a facility or a government building where its Employees are assigned. In the event that a closure occurs, Employees will be excused and may use vacation leave, leave without pay, or volunteer to work available hours at an open facility within their area following the seniority provisions. Voluntary assignment at an alternate worksite will not displace permanently assigned personnel at that worksite regardless of seniority dates. If the Government agrees to reimburse the Company for the time Employees would have lost as a result of the closure, the Company will pay the Employee for the lost time.

Facility Closure. To the extent required by then applicable law and regulation, in the event of a facility closure, the Employer will provide advance notice to the Union and will discuss the impact and effects of such closure on employees covered by this Agreement.

Facility Closure a. If the Employer closes a facility or a service and work is canceled prior to the scheduled shift, the employee may be offered work at an alternate location. b. If work is available at an alternative location, but the employee declines the work, the employee will be charged PTO for the day. If no work is available at an alternative location, the employee will be paid his/her regular salary for the day (exempt employees must be paid the daily salary if no work is available). c. If the Employer decides to keep some facilities or services open during adverse conditions, and all shifts cannot be filled by offering work to regular staff, “backups” may be called. If shifts are still vacant, the supernumerary list will be used to fill the shifts (areas/departments without supernumerary lists are encouraged to create one and forward it to the Emergency Operations Center care of Human Resources). d. If there is doubt regarding the availability of work, employees should contact the Emergency Operations contact telephone number (will function when there is an emergency event).
