WHEREAS, Jefferson County Board of Commissioners have established, by
approval of the Jefferson County Personnel Administration Manual Chapter 11, Section

Commissioners that the Board authorizes the County Administrator to make a
determination as to curtailment of specific County operations and facilities for the safety
and welfare of County employees consistent with the Jefferson County Personnel

Section 16.7 — Personal Equipment
Certain job assignments require that employees furnish personal equipment. If an employee is
required to furnish any items, their Departmental Director will provide a list of the necessary items.
The County is not responsible for lost or stolen personal property (employees must be careful to
secure such equipment) or money, or valuables employees bring to the workplace.
Section 17.0 — Emergency Closures and Inclement Weather
It is the policy of the County that all County offices and activities shall be open and in operation
during established working hours. Because many County services are of primary importance during
emergency conditions, all employees should make every effort to report for work on a timely basis.
Should emergency or inclement weather conditions prevail which would prevent County employees
from reporting to work, it will be the responsibility of the employee to contact their Departmental
Director to indicate an anticipated absence from work or late arrival to work and the reason for such
absence or tardiness.
Section 17.1— Time Loss If Employee Is Unable to Report to Work
Any employee unable to report to work will be given the option of having pay deducted for the time
lost or for applying vacation credits or compensatory time, if such has been accrued, to offset any
loss of pay, subject to the approval of the employee's Departmental Director.
Section 17.2 — County Ordered Curtailment of Operations
Should conditions prevail that require the Board of County Commissioners to announce curtailment
of County operations for the safety and welfare of County employees, no pay shall be deducted for
time lost during the first 2 (two) days of such curtailment of operations, nor shall employees be
required to use vacation or compensatory time for the first 2 (two) day period, unless the employee
had already scheduled the time as vacation or compensatory time off. This provision does not apply
to essential service personnel.
In announcing the curtailment of County operations, the Board of County Commissioners shall, by
resolution, prescribe specifically which County operations and/or facilities are affected. Any
operation and/or facility not specifically mentioned in the resolution will not be affected by the
closure.
