This Severe Weather and Disruption to Public Transport Policy is intended to cover the scenario in which employees have difficulty commuting to work as a result of severe weather or disruptions to public transportation.
Suppose an employee does not show up for work or arrives late because of inclement weather or disruptions to public transportation.
In that case, the employer has the right to treat the absence as an unauthorised absence, which means that the employee does not have the right to be paid for the time missed from work. This applies even if the employee has a valid excuse for not reporting to work.
However, both severe weather and disruption to public transport are situations which are out of the employee’s control. Therefore, the employer ought to proceed with the utmost caution; before withholding the employee’s pay, an investigation should be conducted into the reasons for the employee’s lack of attendance.
When a Severe Weather and Disruption to Public Transport Policy is in place, it not only provides employees with a clear expectation of what is expected of them but also helps lessen the likelihood of confusion and potential conflicts.
本《恶劣天气和公共交通中断政策》旨在涵盖雇员因恶劣天气或公共交通中断而导致上下班困难的情况。
假设由于恶劣天气或公共交通中断，雇员没有来上班或迟到。
在这种情况下，雇主有权将该缺勤视为未经授权的缺勤，这意味着该雇员无权获得缺勤时间的报酬。即使雇员有正当理由不上班，这也适用。
然而，恶劣的天气和公共交通的中断都是雇员无法控制的情况。因此，雇主应该极其谨慎地行事；在扣留雇员的工资之前，应该对雇员不出勤的原因进行调查。
当恶劣天气和公共交通中断政策到位时，它不仅为员工提供了一个明确的期望，而且还有助于减少混乱和潜在冲突的可能性。
