The Clemson University Office of Human Resources received guidance from the State Office of Human Resources regarding hazardous weather conditions for Feb. 17 and 18, 2015. For offices in Pickens County, which includes the main campus, Governor Haley has forgiven leave for regular, time-limited and temporary grant state employees for the following work periods:
1. Feb. 17, 2015, 8 a.m. – noon
2. Feb. 18, 2015, 8 a.m. – 10 a.m.
Essential employees that were required to work during this time should earn compensatory time on an hour-for-hour basis for the hours worked. Employees who complete timesheets are advised to add “Emergency Closing” on the timesheet for any forgiven missed work time.

Unforgiven Leave
The governor’s decision to provide leave with pay for this weather event left portions of the closure unforgiven. Employees must account for missed work time for the following work periods:
1. Feb. 16, 2015 starting at 2:30 p.m.
2. Feb. 17, 2015 from noon to 12:30 p.m.
Employees should complete one of the following actions listed below to account for the unforgiven time:
- Enter annual leave or compensatory time by March 6, 2015.
- Work with supervisors to make up the time by March 31, 2015.
- Request leave without pay by March 20, 2015.
The State Office of Human Resources has not provided guidance regarding hazardous weather conditions resulting in the university closing between Feb. 25-26, 2015. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
