1 The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Employment Policies & Procedures Maintaining Services During Adverse Weather Conditions and Public Transport Disruption Policy Version.: 3.0 Effective Date: 31 March 2015 Expiry Date: 31 March 2018 Date Ratified: 23 March 2015 Ratified by: Executive Team 1. Introduction 1.1 The organisation recognises the need to safely maintain services during adverse weather conditions, whilst properly discharging its duty of care to employees. This policy is based on the clear principle that in accordance with an employee's contract of employment they are required to attend work in order to receive payment of salary. 1.2 Only in very rare and exceptional circumstances will the Trust issue an instruction to employees regarding the need to close buildings or reduce service provision due to extreme weather conditions/public transport disruption. In these circumstances full instructions will be provided as to how this time should be reflected. All staff will be made aware of these arrangements. 1.3 In all other circumstances, employees are expected to present themselves for work at the start of their shift. This may mean, with management approval, at an alternative work base. 2. Scope This policy applies to all employees and anyone else engaged to work on behalf of the Trust. 3. Aims This policy is intended to provide guidance to managers to ensure the circumstances referred to in section 1.3 are dealt with effectively and consistently by the Trust. 4. Duties roles and responsibilities 4.1 The Executive Team is accountable to the Trust Board for ensuring Trust-wide compliance with policy. 4.2 Directorate managers and heads of service are responsible to the Executive Team for ensuring policy implementation. 4.3 Managers are responsible for ensuring policy implementation and compliance in their area(s). Page 1 of 4

2 4.4 Staff are responsible for complying with policy. 5. Responsibilities of the employee 5.1 It is the responsibility of the employee to make every effort to attend for duty at the start of their shift at their normal place of work. Where adverse weather conditions are forecast, staff are expected to plan ahead accordingly for situations such as school closures (see 6.7) and travel disruption. 5.2 In the event of adverse weather conditions/public transport disruption rendering an employee unable to attend, the employee will take all reasonably practicable steps to inform their manager at the earliest opportunity this should be no later than the time they were due to start work. Employees must notify their manager directly (or the nominated person in charge). When notifying the Trust the employee should give full details and their anticipated date of return to work. 5.3 Employees shall not unreasonably refuse to comply with temporary redeployment to an alternative base or undertake other duties. 5.4 Should weather conditions and or public transport improve during the day, then employees will be expected to attend work. 6. Responsibilities of the manager 6.1 The manager should consider a range of factors impacting upon an employee s ability to attend for duty, including: a) the requirements of the service b) the prevailing weather conditions and their anticipated duration c) their normal mode of transport d) alternative methods of transport available to facilitate attendance e) hours of work e.g. night shifts, weekend working and on-call arrangements f) health & safety (a risk assessment may be needed) g) health impairment that may present an additional barrier to attend work in bad weather conditions Advice may be necessary from Occupational Health h) caring responsibilities that may present an additional barrier to attendance i) distance to travel to work j) capacity to work from home k) capacity for redeployment to a more accessible or appropriate base l) provision of alternative duties m) use of alternative communication mediums and transport systems n) use of existing on-call arrangements in order to establish contingency arrangements where adverse weather conditions are foreseeable 6.2 Where an employee is unable to attend for duty, a number of options may be considered, including: a) use of any accrued lieu time b) use of annual leave c) unpaid leave d) working any lost time back Page 2 of 4

3 e) carer leave f) a combination of the above All options are subject to agreement by the manager. 6.3 Where non-attendance is for a prolonged period (e.g. stranded abroad due to a significant and unforeseen disruption to flights), the manager shall discuss with the employee how the time lost will be repaid. 6.4 It may be reasonably practicable for an employee to work from home where performance of their normal duties and responsibilities would be considered appropriate. Such arrangements are subject to agreement by the manager with due consideration of health and safety, confidentiality and risk assessment. 6.5 An employee who fails to notify their manager of their inability to attend work shall be recorded as unauthorised unpaid absence and their pay will be deducted for the hours lost. 6.6 Where a manager judges that an employee arrived for duty late and this was entirely due to adverse conditions, their pay shall not normally be withheld for the time lost provided the employee works the time back at a time agreed with the manager. 6.7 Where an emergency situation arises during an employee s shift/working day, the manager shall exercise discretion with due consideration for service needs, and having sought advice from senior personnel within the Trust and/or the Trust s Human Resources Department to allow the employee to leave work early, - or be redeployed to an alternative base. Any time lost shall be made up by the employee at a time to be agreed with the manager. 6.8 Where an emergency situation occurs and an employee requests time off to collect and/or care for a child and/or dependent, managers should consider use of the Trust s Special Leave Policy. 6.9 For jobs where staff are required to drive and/or work outdoors in adverse weather conditions, managers shall ensure individuals have appropriate equipment and safe systems of work in place, and shall undertake regular risk assessments. 7. Equality and Diversity The Trust is committed to ensuring that, as far as is reasonably practicable, the way we provide services to the public and the way we treat our staff reflects their individual needs and does not discriminate against individuals or groups on any grounds. This policy has been properly assessed. Page 3 of 4
