In anticipation of winter weather and in preparation for any other campus emergencies, the Business Policy and Procedure Manual 1:010 and UM Human Resources Policy Manual HR217 outline campus closure and pay procedures for University of Missouri. These policies permit two types of campus closures: full closure or partial closure.
The policies can be accessed by following the below links:
http://bppm.missouri.edu/chapter1/1_010.html
http://www.umsystem.edu/ums/departments/hr/manual/217.shtml
(Please note: These policies do not apply to staff at MU Health Care)
As a major research campus that has extensive 24/7 operations, MU will not typically close. Should the Chancellor designate a partial campus closure (e.g., classes are cancelled but many operations remain open), the following pay procedures for staff employees will apply:
While unlikely, a full campus closure could occur in the event of a major disaster or other catastrophic event and the campus would be closed, classes cancelled and administrative and academic operations suspended. Certain continuous operations would be maintained even in the event of a full campus closure. Employees (except those deemed situationally critical) would be directed not to report to work. In the event of a full campus closure the following pay procedures will apply:
Because of the nature of our campus and the need to maintain critical 24/7 operations, the MU campus would designate a full closure only in extreme circumstances.
Departments should designate those positions considered situationally critical and inform employees in advance, if possible, in preparation for a partial or full campus closure. The designation of situationally critical may differ based on the nature of the situation.
