How to weather weather events.....

Although my union subscription ceased on my retirement they were good enough to email me advising that the HSE concedes that "Emergency" leave with pay would be afforded to staff who could not travel because of the conditions, but added any time not worked would have to be worked up before the end of the year. Fair play to the HSE for such thoughtful sentiments. Nothing like our Health Service to instill staff bonding when necessary.

That is really bad. The NHS treat it as Special Paid Leave which is only fair.
 
I work in a Small private company and our policy is that if we close everyone gets paid. We closed early yesterday and everyone got a full days pay.

So I am relieved that Purple and all the Irish people that matter (i.e. those who live in the Pale and the greater Pale area) survived whatever the weather threw at them. I am heartened that RTE news coverage was nationwide instead of the usual panic if Dublin only is affected and the non coverage if Dublin is not affected.

RTÉ have a public service mandate so they have to report on every part of the country, even the parts that don’t matter. :p

I agree. I think it was reversed though. If you can't get to work due to your car breaking down or you child getting sick you are not expected to take the time out of A/L.

Obviously it can be abused, but it's only a day or two and there is an element of trust involved.

My wife, who works in the HSE, walked to work yesterday, but it's too bad today.
