Can I take the day off work if it snows?
With temperatures set to drop as low as -10C, many will want to know how snow and cold weather will affect their work routine – and their pay.
If it is snowing in your area, your boss can’t force you to travel to work if conditions are too dangerous.
However, they usually don’t have to pay you either.
If it’s possible to work from home, this may be something you have to do.
If not you could be asked to take unpaid leave, annual leave or to make up the hours another time.
Different companies have different rules, so make sure you check your office handbook and contract carefully to see what the extreme weather policy is.
