How to weather weather events.....

That is really bad. The NHS treat it as Special Paid Leave which is only fair.
 
I work in a Small private company and our policy is that if we close everyone gets paid. We closed early yesterday and everyone got a full days pay.
 
RTÉ have a public service mandate so they have to report on every part of the country, even the parts that don’t matter.

I agree. I think it was reversed though. If you can't get to work due to your car breaking down or you child getting sick you are not expected to take the time out of A/L.

Obviously it can be abused, but it's only a day or two and there is an element of trust involved.

My wife, who works in the HSE, walked to work yesterday, but it's too bad today.
