Emergency Closings

There may be times when emergencies, such as severe weather, fires, power failures, or earthquakes, disrupt the normal business operations of the College, and even result in the closure of part or all of the College. When we are officially closed due to emergency conditions, you will be paid for the time off.

There may also be times when the College asks Employees in essential operations to work on a day when it is officially closed due to an emergency. If we ask you to work on a day when we are officially closed, we will pay you your regular pay.

Emergency closings will be announced on local radio stations; WNGM AM 1230, WACF FM 95.1, WCNG FM 102.7 and Atlanta television stations; WAGA-FOX 5, WGCL-CBS 46, WSB-ABC 2, WXIA-NBC 11and a message will be put on the College's website and E2 Campus notification system.

If an emergency closing is not authorized and you do not report for work, you will not be paid for the time off, although you may ask to use any available paid time off you have, such as vacation.
