All Employees:

· Monitor local news outlets or the DAS State Building Closure Notice website at http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/pages/bldg_close/index.aspx to stay up to date on office closures or curtailment of operations. Employees may also sign up for text or email alerts for state building closures through this same link:

· Know local processes (such as phone/text trees) and procedures to find out if an office is closed, having any sort of delayed start, or early closure due to inclement weather. If you don’t know of the process, talk to your supervisor.

· If an office or facility is closed or curtailed, code time appropriately (see link to Leave Matrix below).

Supervisors:

· Know the policies and procedures for office closures.

· Ensure that employees who are designated essential and must report to work during an office closure or curtailment are notified of their status and expectations to report.

· Make sure all employees are notified and have proper information.

Please contact me, Heidi Steiner, (503) 945-7293 or Garrett Klever, (503) 945-7272 in HR if you have any questions.
