Unsafe Work or Travel Conditions

Overview
Texas A&M University may authorize remote work due to unsafe work or travel conditions, such as inclement weather. Updates will be provided on the Campus Emergency site, through Code Maroon alerts, or on the Texas A&M homepage.
Use this service request to ask questions about:
  • Remote Work Authorization:  Procedures for working remotely during unsafe conditions.
  • Essential Personnel:  Identifying employees required to work on-site during closures.
  • Compensatory Time:  Guidelines for compensatory time for essential personnel.
  • Leave Provisions:  Leave options for employees unable to work remotely.
    • If an employee is authorized to work remotely during inclement weather but is unable to perform their job due to no electricity or no laptop, the employee will submit a leave request in Workday and enter Inclement weather leave with comments to include the reason they couldn’t work remotely.  
    • Not all employees have a job that can be performed remotely. Employees who cannot perform their job remotely will need to contact their Manager to find out if there is an alternate work assignment (such as training) that they can work during the University closure/altered operations.
    • An employee that does not have childcare (day care) or is unable to work remotely due to their child's school being closed will need to use vacation leave.  
    • An employee who is scheduled to be away from work on approved leave during the University closure will not have his/her leave changed; essentially, the employee was not required to report to work and therefore was not impacted by the adverse weather conditions. 
Eligibility
Eligibility and approval will vary depending on the employee’s role and the nature of the unsafe conditions. Essential personnel are typically those whose duties affect the security, safety, or physical operation of the university.
