Employees:
Today the Office of Human Resources (OHR) received guidance from the state. Governor Haley declared a State of Emergency in advance of any potential impacts from Hurricane Matthew. As the possibility of hazardous weather increases, based on the decision of the Office of the Governor and the Emergency Management Division, state government offices and their employees will follow the same hazardous weather decisions made by the county government officials where the state office is located.
Clemson University is a state agency with employees spread throughout the state. Employees should investigate whether or not their Clemson work location is closed or on delay through these steps:
- Visit www.scemd.org/closings, which lists county-by-county closings.
- Review the county government office’s schedule for your Clemson workplace.
- Follow the schedule of that county’s government office.
Special Note: If your supervisor deems you “essential” to maintain vital operations, you need to report to work during the closing.
The bottom line is that each employee must take responsibility for the following:
- Knowing and understanding the emergency closing procedure
- Getting information on weather conditions and pertinent announcements about the University
- Determining the safety of travel arrangements
- Working with supervisors to satisfy any work time missed
