Article XIV - Compensation
Section 4 Inclement Weather
a.
Employees may receive up to three (3) paid days per school year to be used in the event
of an official school closing due to inclement weather. No more ~)--8-ay-s-l;al+
be µaid ffi-a-fl'f0ni\,~ Employees with "blended" work assignments wherein a
crossing guard is responsible for more than one school or type of school (such as a
public and a non-public school) are expected to report to duty whenever at least one of
their schools is in session. The use of an approved "inclement weather" day shall not
count against the determination of whether an employee is eligible for a perfect
attendance bonus provided the use of said inclement weather day(s) are approved by
the City. If the inclement weather day falls during an authorized absence, the employee
will forfeit his or her entitlement to pay for that inclement weather day.
b.
There may be situations when the Somerville Public Schoots end the regu lar school day
early or open on a delay due to inclement weather. In the event of a delayed opening,
employees who regu larly work in the morning will report to their regular posts at a time
dictated by the delay. For example, if Somerville opens with a 2-hour delay, an
employee wou ld report to their post at 9:15a, rather than 7:15a. In the event of an
early release, employees who regularly work in the afternoon will report to their regular
post 15 minutes before the dismissal tim e and will remain for 30 minutes after the
dismissal time. For example, if Somerville ends the school day at 1:00p, an employee
wou ld report to their post at 12:45p and stay until 1:30p. For both an early release or a
delayed opening, employees will be paid their usual rate for time worked. It is t he
responsibility of the employees to monitor the local media or the City's website to learn
if t he Somerville Public Schools will have an early release or a delayed start.
Signed this __ day of November, 2020.
