Inclement Weather Policy

Author: XpertHR Editorial Team

When to Use

Inclement weather - from a minor storm that shuts down power in the workplace to a full-fledged natural disaster like a tornado or hurricane - can significantly disrupt an employer's operations. While it is impossible to fully plan for the unpredictable nature of weather, it is still a good idea to have basic guidelines for employees to follow when bad weather occurs.

An employer should consider implementing this policy to ensure that employees know how to find out about workplace closings and what they need to do when the unexpected occurs.
