As we approach the upcoming winter months, we would like to remind you about the University’s adverse weather policies and conditions.

If adverse weather is declared by NC State University, it will either be a condition 1 or condition 2. These will apply to the Wake County area. County extension offices across the state may be impacted by adverse weather in different ways and should follow their established protocols.

Conditions

Condition 1: Classes are in session and the University is open but some operations may be reduced. During adverse weather condition 1, employees should take reasonable precautions for personal safety. Mandatory employees must report to or remain at work. Non-mandatory employees should make a good faith effort to remain at or report to work taking reasonable precautions and judgments for personal safety.

Condition 2: Classes are cancelled and the university is open on a very limited basis with only mandatory operations functioning. Mandatory employees must remain at or report to work. Non-mandatory employees must leave or not report to work and must use leave (comp, annual, or bonus) or make up time based on departmental need within 90 days of the event. Non-mandatory employees may also work remotely if authorized to do so.

Remote Work

Non-Exempt (you clock in and clock out for work): If you are non-exempt and are authorized to work remotely during adverse weather, you can clock in/clock out through the online WolfTime system (desktop/mobile device).
