Inclement Weather
Number: B-7
Revision: 3
Effective Date: 4-1-07
1.0 POLICY
The City of Greensboro does not close for inclement weather and employees are expected to be
available as needed or as scheduled.
2.0 PURPOSE
City services must continue to operate at all times including periods of severe inclement
weather. Some operations may work an abbreviated schedule; others may temporarily cease
specific operations. However, many services become more critical during poor weather conditions.
There are times when employees will be called in to work at times that differ from their normally
scheduled work hours to staff City operations. During such conditions, employees may be required
to work extended hours or times outside of their regularly scheduled working hours to staff City
operations.
3.0 SCOPE
This policy covers benefit eligible City employees in all City departments.

participation in the City’s benefit programs in addition to legally mandated coverage.
