1. Employee will be paid a minimum of 4hrs of pay for any weather event shutdown
2. If the shutdown occurs on M-F of the week, it will be paid as regular time(1x). If it occurs on a Sat-Sun, if will be paid at OT (1.5x) rate.
3. Employee will have to report to work on their next scheduled shift and punch in when their receiving station reopens in order to receive Stay Pay.
