PAY DURING EMERGENCY CONDITIONS
Employees who work in Goodwill-Easter Seals MN location and are informed that their work location is
closed for a weather-related emergency, i.e., snowstorm, extreme cold, etc., will be paid for the hours
they were scheduled to work that day, even if their shift has not yet started, up to a maximum of eight
hours.

If the work location is forced to close early because of a weather-related emergency, all employees who
are working at the time of closing will be paid for the time remaining in their scheduled shift, not to
exceed a total of eight hours, including hours already worked. If the work location needs to open late
because of a weather-related emergency, all employees scheduled to work during that time will be paid
for that time, including hours worked not to exceed 8 hours. An employee’s emergency close pay will be
reduced if it puts them in excess of 40 hours per week.

Goodwill-Easter Seals generally remains open during emergencies such as severe weather. If an
employee is unable to come to work while their work location remains open, the employee will not be
paid. Employees have the option of using accrued, unused Paid Time Off (PTO) for any working hours
missed or having their pay adjusted consistent with applicable laws.
