Inclement Weather Policy

Team –

With snow in the forecast, we wanted to remind everyone of the inclement weather policy that is outlined in our employee handbook. Be safe!

Inclement Weather

The Company will never officially close the office for a weather incident (with customers all over North America and technology allowing for remote working, it’s expected that Marriner will remain open). Therefore, the Company will continue to take a liberal approach to people working from home during inclement weather.

Since Marriner has 100% of the staff equipped with laptops and/or the ability to work from home, employees can connect to the servers via VPN and communicate with each other via phone, text, conference calls, Workamajig, Slack, Zoom, etc., when needed.

Employees must take the following steps to productively work remotely:

1. Use your best judgment the night before or morning of the snow/weather event. Prepare by taking home appropriate items (laptop, power cords, key documents, etc.) you may need from the office.
2. Call or email your manager prior to 8:30 a.m. and let him/her know what you are planning to do. (Remember, you could always take the day off and just go play in the snow.)
3. Communicate with your team members so they know what you are planning to do.
4. If you are working, please make yourself available and accessible throughout the day.
5. If you cannot do the above, please take a full day or half day off, depending on your availability.
