We close only if NYC school's close so I am looking forward to this snow day tomorrow! sunny on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days/page/2#post-2040481 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 12:42:11 +0000 sunny 2040481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We don't really have official snow days since the office doors are never truly locked if you have your badge. If I think its unsafe for me to get to work due to snow, I would just work from home and my coworkers would do the same. coopsmama on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days/page/2#post-2040449 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 12:25:23 +0000 coopsmama 2040449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, but then I don't get paid as a SAHM at all. :wink: LuLu Mom on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040441 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 12:21:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 2040441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We don't get snow days....seriously I remember ONCE that a huge snowstorm was coming, and they told us the night before to take our computers home ad remote in, they would be checking to insure we were working from home. I think we would have only gotten out of it if the electricity was out in our city/internet down. I did have to stay home once due to daycare closing, and I believe that was paid because it was a "personal" day. krispi on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040425 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 12:11:19 +0000 krispi 2040425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If the weather is bad, we're supposed to work from home. I bring my laptop home every night just in case something happens and I need to work from home - get sick, car trouble, whatever. If I didn't have my laptop, I could either take PTO time or time off without pay. jedeve on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040415 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 12:04:16 +0000 jedeve 2040415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never had one! catlady on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040401 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 11:56:07 +0000 catlady 2040401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, if we put in the hours at home. But if you just take the day off, it counts as PTO. cascademom on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040388 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 11:49:43 +0000 cascademom 2040388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Though we had our work from home taken away from us in October, we can work from home when it's bad Midwest weather. During the cold days a few weeks ago, both my DH and I worked at home. Unless LO's daycare/preschool is closed, then one of us takes PTO to stay at home with him. yellowbird on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040178 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 10:02:03 +0000 yellowbird 2040178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If they close our office down, they take it out of our sick or vacation time. It's really lame.

I get paid, but I can and do work from home, so a snow day for me is really a WFH day, rather than a day off. Our company's policy is if you can't work from home for some reason, you have to take the day as PTO.

Here in WI, businesses rarely close for snow! yoursilverlining on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040118 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 09:17:09 +0000 yoursilverlining 2040118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes – but it’s rare. Our company has multiple offices, and if they (not sure exactly who “they” are – the decision makers) close your office then you get paid. If the office is open, you can either take PTO, WFH or come in. I have a laptop so I can work from home.

Now that we're living in MA, every snow day we take is another day we have to make up at the end of the year. :( MrsSCB on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040110 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 09:14:33 +0000 MrsSCB 2040110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would be, except no snow here. We're more likely to have a hurricane day, lol. When I was in NYC, I never got snow days because I worked in news. During hurricane sandy my work put us in a hotel so we could still make it in. Meanwhile my apartment building was flooding :-/ littlebug on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040108 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 09:14:21 +0000 littlebug 2040108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I work in a hospital, so there are no snow days. At my last hospital, if it snowed a lot or there were major transportation disruptions, it was an "excused absence" if you had to miss work, meaning it didn't get counted as an occurrence (5 occurrences in a year gets written up, 7 gets you fired). But if you missed work on a day that wasn't excused, you had to take vacation or take it unpaid. At my current hospital, you're expected to be here. If you miss, you take PTO and it's counted against you. looch on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040101 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 09:07:39 +0000 looch 2040101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I get paid when I book hours, so if I take a snow day, I don't get paid.

And some childcare centers follow those. So, when there are school delays or cancellations, we get to figure out who is going to take PTO for that time! Our schools were delayed twice a couple weeks ago for "ice". blackbird on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040077 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 08:42:49 +0000 blackbird 2040077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If the hotline says the plant is closed, then yes, I get paid. The company is CRAZY stingy about it, so we only get maybe one a year. Sometimes zero. I can't work from home with a toddler, so I take the pay. Or i "forget" my laptop ;) Mrs. Jump Rope on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040076 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 08:42:32 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2040076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mediagirl: my brother said they had a few two hour delays at work this month & it made me laugh. Do you have those too? My husband has been sent home from work once that I can remember due to weather & was paid, but that's probably because they'd already worked 3/4 of the day. He's salaried. getjazzy on "Do you get paid for snow days?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-paid-for-snow-days#post-2040075 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 08:42:19 +0000 getjazzy 2040075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've been able to coordinate working from home a few times if I know in advance a storm is coming but in general, my job is hard to do from home. Most times, I take a vacation day and relax because I commute over an hour and it's just not worth risking the drive in.

My salary is the same, but whenever we have a snow day at school, we just make it up with an extra day at the end of the school year.
