Administrative Leave Granted for Inclement Weather

Due to inclement weather, Towson University was closed on Tuesday, January 29, 2019 from 1:00 pm until 11:59 pm.

The timesheets for Regular Faculty and Staff were due before the emergency closure was announced therefor no changes are required to alter the times for January 29, 2019.  However Contingent Faculty and Staff do not submit their timesheets until Friday February 1, 2019 and this Administrative Leave should be included on those.

Employees who were not already on leave, or were not scheduled to take leave during this period, record administrative leave on their time sheet.  The administrative leave corresponds with the actual hours they would have been scheduled to work if not for the emergency closing.  The applicable leave codes are:

ADMU – Regular Faculty & Staff, Librarians

ADMCE – Contingent II Exempt Staff

ADMCU – Contingent II Non-Exempt Staff

Contingent I – record normal work hours on the time sheet and note the administrative leave hours in the remarks section.

Lecturers – record D for any time worked and note the administrative leave hours in the remarks section.

Non-exempt emergency essential personnel, who were required to work during the closure, are paid for the hours worked and receive straight time administrative leave for scheduled work hours.  Use leave code ADMEW for the administrative leave hours.

Employees who were not scheduled to work, were scheduled to take leave, or were already on leave, may not use administrative leave.  Unless scheduled otherwise, employees who leave work before the University officially closes must use their own accrued leave for those times.

For more information, please review the Administrative Leave Decision Tree and the

Administrative Leave FAQ.  If you have any questions, email leavebenefits@towson.edu.
