What is the protocol if it turns out to be a snow day on the day you are booked to supply?
The attached guidelines apply to OTs on a Long Term Assignment. That is to say, if you are on a Long Term assignment and cannot get to the school in which you would normally work, it is appropriate to go to the nearest school. As the weather clears, it is expected that you would travel to your regular worksite, as outlined in the guideline. If you cannot get to your school or an alternate site, you would be required to complete the form as mentioned in the guideline and absences would be applied to sick leave credits, where possible. Daily OTs should call the school to which they have been assigned and follow the direction of the administration. If you cannot get to that school, it is not appropriate to go to an alternate site. Your safety is an important consideration. If there is a specific issue about which you are concerned, please don’t hesitate to call me.
