As the chill of winter bites with a ferocity that seemed to catch the city officials on the back foot, Oklahoma City has announced a liberal leave policy for its non-essential city employees. The decision, courtesy of the City Manager, comes in response to the anticipated winter weather slated to sweep through the area, bringing with it a battery of hazardous driving conditions, according to the City of Oklahoma City.
On Wednesday, February 19, City of Oklahoma City announced liberal leave for employees, allowing them to stay off dangerous roads. Non-Required Hazardous Condition Personnel can use their vacation time, compensatory leave, or take unpaid leave if needed.
The liberal leave policy doesn’t mean employees can ignore their duties. City of Oklahoma City offices will continue working as much as possible despite the winter weather. Employees who can work from home are encouraged to do so and keep up with their tasks remotely.
