An inclement weather policy is a written document that outlines the rules, expectations, and operating procedures when bad weather causes disruption. By eliminating ambiguity, you can avoid confusion about whether an employee should report to work and how the organization handles employee pay and benefits.
Yes, your employer can require you to come to work despite severe weather. That said, a reasonable employer and even employers that aren't generally reasonable in other situations will make allowances for employees who cannot safely make it in.
For example, car issues, a sick child, a doctor's appointment, and severe weather are all valid and good excuses to miss work. In fact, even people who are currently in a remote work set-up might have to call out of work.
If dangerous winter weather will keep you from getting to the office, call or email your employer and explain your situation honestly. State the facts and politely request the day off without making excuses. Honesty is the best policy. Most managers will thank you for the update and cut you some slack.
If you commute to work, you cannot simply refuse to drive to work due to a fear of road conditions. Your employer must agree that the weather is too dangerous for driving. Otherwise, your employer has the right to fire or otherwise discipline you for not coming to work.
Some examples of inclement weather include: hurricanes, floods, blizzards, heavy snow, ice storms, and excessive heat.
With many inexpensive communication options available, almost everyone can do their job remotely--at least for a day! Old timers don't get this. They feel they need to be in the office, along with their staff, to prove that they are essential.
