University expects to maintain normal operations Friday, Jan. 10; supervisors reminded to consider remote work policy
Miami University is monitoring the approaching winter weather for Friday, Jan. 10, in the Butler County and broader Southwest Ohio region. At this time, the university is expecting to maintain normal operations.
The Office of Human Resources is reminding managers and supervisors of the university’s remote work policy and that they have the flexibility to determine how they need to maintain or support their areas Friday through the use of that policy.
Please communicate clearly to all employees who are currently scheduled to work Friday what their expectations are for work that day. We hope that this advance notice will provide colleagues across the university the flexibility needed to prioritize both needed services and employee safety.
For those staff reporting to campus, please use caution in driving to and from campus in winter weather conditions.
Winter weather: all area campuses again shifting to remote work and instruction Tuesday
While the university’s weather emergency designation along with the area’s winter storm warning are expiring later this evening, difficult winter weather conditions in Butler County and the broader Southwest Ohio region continue. As such, all Miami University area campuses will again shift to remote work as appropriate and remote instruction Tuesday, Jan. 7.
Staff who cannot work remotely should report to campus for work. Managers/supervisors will communicate with staff who cannot work remotely regarding their specific work shifts and assignments.
While the Oxford campus will remain open for activities such as dining for students residing on campus, we ask that only those staff who cannot work remotely report to campus and other activities are minimized as facility crews work to clear walks, drives, and parking lots and maintain services to buildings.
Administrators are reminded to communicate clearly to all employees who are currently scheduled to work on Tuesday what their expectations are for work that day. We hope that this advance notice will provide colleagues across the university the flexibility needed to prioritize both needed services and employee safety.
For those staff reporting to campus, please use extreme caution when driving in such conditions. Much colder temperatures and drifting snow are expected.
Winter weather expected Sunday, all area campuses shifting to remote work and instruction Monday
Miami University is monitoring the approaching winter weather for Sunday night (Jan. 5) into Monday (Jan. 6) in the Butler County and broader Southwest Ohio region. While there is still some uncertainty with the forecasted snow amounts and exact conditions, at this time, several inches of snow and perhaps some ice are expected.
Given this, all area campuses will shift to remote work for non-weather essential staff and remote instruction on Monday. Weather essential staff may be required to report for work on Sunday, Jan. 5. Managers/supervisors will communicate with weather essential staff regarding their specific work shifts and assignments.
While the Oxford campus will remain open for essential activities such as dining for students residing on campus, we ask that only weather essential staff report to campus and other activities are minimized as facility crews work to clear walks, drives, and parking lots and maintain services to buildings.
Administrators are reminded to communicate clearly to all employees who are currently scheduled to work on Monday what their expectations are for work that day. We hope that this advance notice will provide colleagues across the university the flexibility needed to prioritize both needed services and employee safety.
For those weather essential staff reporting to campus, there is a high degree of certainty in the forecast for several inches of snow and potentially some ice. Please use extreme caution when driving in such conditions.
