When an emergency occurs which may require an adjustment in work activities or schedules (such as lack of heat in an office or loss of electricity in a building) supervisors must consult with the Department of Human Resources, Labor Relations Unit before taking any action.
No employee may be sent home without consultation and authorization from the Department of Human Resources at (860) 486-5684. Under no circumstances should offices be left unstaffed because of individual decisions to dismiss employees.
Employees should first be relocated, if possible, to other work locations.
If it is not feasible to relocate employees or make any other appropriate
arrangement, a listing of affected employees for which the department is
requesting "WW" time must be sent to the Department of Human Resources
for approval prior to sending any employee home. Requests should be faxed
to (860) 486-3390.
