During this extreme weather, managers are encouraged to exercise business continuity plans and are encouraged to be flexible with their staff members\u2019 arrangements while covering business functions. Employees who miss work because of weather must use vacation or floating holiday time to account for these absences, according to the UNMC Work Schedules Policy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If students or employees feel they cannot safely get to campus,<\/strong>&nbsp;they are asked to notify their supervisor or their supervising faculty members as soon as possible.&nbsp;In the event of inclement weather, classes for the UNMC College of Public Health are cancelled if the University of Nebraska at Omaha is closed. This impacts only on-campus COPH classes; online classes continue as scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to forecasts, all UNMC campus locations may be subject to extreme weather. If you must travel or be outdoors, take precautions and stay dry, stay covered, dress layered and stay informed.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" title=\" Fum aksJZcBRtzh  bZ Vzo  \"> Fum aksJZcBRtzh  bZ Vzo  <\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the snow, ice and\u00a0cold\u00a0this week, UNMC employees are encouraged to\u00a0take appropriate precautions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":94112,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"55025,21794,66755,50727,46016,57532","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-120056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","author_override-unmc-strategic-communications"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
