No matter where you work you need to stay informed about your agency’s procedure for office closings. Your supervisor or human resource office can give you this information and answer questions that often arise during and after an office closing.
For closing information for agencies in the Richmond Metro Area you can:
If you’re employed outside the Richmond Metro area check with your supervisor or agency human resource director for details about local media announcements and your agency's emergency closing procedures.
The Emergency Closings Policy applies to all classified, restricted, and At-Will employees. The policy describes “designated” and “non-designated” employees. “Designated” employees are those who are required to report to their assigned facility during an official closing because the services they provide are essential to agency operations conducted on-site during emergencies. Agencies and institutions are required to tell employees if they are “designated” or “non-designated”.
Employees authorized for remote work are to follow their agency's teleworking requirements.
