Overview
Please refer to the UW-Madison Inclement Weather Guidelines.
Key points of the guidelines include:
- Only the chancellor has the authority to cancel classes, suspend services or close the campus to the public and employees. Individual schools, colleges, divisions and other campus units will not close unless the whole campus is closed.
- Employees should use discretion and caution regarding their health and safety.
- Employees are required to use available annual leave (i.e., vacation, personal holiday), leave without pay, or, when appropriate, accrued compensatory time to cover the absence, or arrange to make up time to cover any absences.
- Unit practices for employee absences should be followed.
- Supervisors are advised to be flexible, if operationally possible, in approving employee-requested leave in inclement weather.
