How does your financial institution handle it when employee(s) cannot come in due to inclement weather? Do you charge a vacation day, ....? Thanks in advance for any input.

We would charge them a vacation or a personal day.

Here it's a vacation day.

Same as "hrlady" it would be a personal day or vacation day!

we lump our leave time into PTO...and it accrues on a rolling basis as a percentage of pay. a PTO day would be charged...and if the employee is in good standing but did not "earn" the PTO time yet, we would advance them the needed hours for the snow day.

In the event that we close...the employees that were at work at the time of the decision would not be charged any PTO...those scheduled, but not at work would be charged for the full hours of their shift.

we have only had 1 "snow day" in south Louisiana (go figure), and employees who could not make it in were not charged. strangely enough, I live 60 miles from work and made it in...this year, when we were expecting icy roads, we told the employees the day before that business would be conducted as usual and we expected them to be at work, but to be safe in getting in. Only 1 employee did not come in, and that was due to a child care issue. She was charged a vacation day. We have the same issue with hurricanes and people wanting to evacuate. Once our DR team is deployed and able to operate from our DR facility, we let the staff go and then tell them when we expect them back in the office.

We can take the day unpaid, or use a personal or vacation day. In Michigan, you just have to leave an hour earlier!

If the bank closes, the absence does not go against PTO. However, if the bank is open and the employee can't get in, it's charged to PTO or unpaid if the employee doesn't have sufficient PTO.

Of course, I'm in the South and we close for two inches of snow

If the bank is open, you are expected to make it in. If you don't, you have to take a vacation day or take it unpaid.
One time last year, the bank decided early in the morning to open late (like around 1 pm. We were to get like 12-15 inches that day. They started to call staff to tell them to stay home, but since we are in the Midwest, many people had already left home. The Bank decided around noon, not to open. If you made it in that day, you got an extra vacation day to take later. If you didn't make it (either because you got the call or whatever), you were not charged a vacation day.

I think it's fair to say that any policy you have must balance the reasonable safety of staff against the need to operate your business. We always want to be here for our customers, but we don't want anyone getting hurt trying to get to the bank!!!

We can either take the day unpaid or a vacation day.

So funny... in Alaska we come to work when it snows, rains, sleets, or even gets 60 below zero :o) If we got snow or inclemental weather days, I could miss alot of work from October to April.

Unpaid or vacation. We also allow them to "make up" the missed time if they want to so that their paycheck isn't affected (such as taking a 1/2 hour lunch instead of a full hour). Last week I pretty much told my staff to leave an hour early so I authorized that they got paid for that hour.

Anyone who does not show up for work on a snow day (such as today) is charged either a personal day or a vacation day.

If conditions are severe, and the employee makes it to work by 10:00, there's no need to make up time missed.

If an employee arrives after 10:00 a.m., he/she is asked to make up any missed time after 10:00. This time has to be made up within the week it's missed.

If an employee cannot get to work at all, he/she will be allowed to use a vacation day or a personal day or make up the time at the manager's discretion as long as it's made up within the week.

Also, locally, if the branch in your hometown closes early, one can leave at the same time (we have several employees from surrounding counties).
