Limited Administrative Leave Granted for Inclement Weather

Due to inclement weather, Towson University closed on Wednesday, December 16, 2020 at 8 am and will reopen at a time to be determined.  Further information on the designated time for reopening will be provided as soon as it is available.

Employees who were not already on leave, or were not scheduled to take leave during this period, may record administrative leave on their time sheet if they are unable to telework either fully or partially.  Those whose positions permit telework should continue to perform duties remotely during closure of the physical campus.

Supervisors and time approvers may permit administrative leave to be charged in individual cases upon confirmation that some or all duties were unable to be performed remotely.  Employees should consult with their supervisor for questions regarding work assignments.

**Administrative leave should not be utilized for those already teleworking and/or those with the ability to telework** 

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 on campus during the physical campus 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.

Emergency essential personnel includes ONLY those who are designated essential for inclement weather closures/emergencies.  This does NOT include individuals who have been determined to be regularly reporting to campus for daily Quick Scan and other COVID-related tracking/monitoring purposes.

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 any time not actually worked.
