Bridgeport Public Library here (near Saginaw).

1 & 2 - if you're scheduled to work, and the library closes (for snow, weather, facility issues, acts of god etc), you get paid. Doesn't matter what.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
3. This is our policy for jury duty (applies to all staff, salary & hourly): An employee who is called to serve and does serve on jury duty will be provided with an approved paid leave for the duration of the jury service. The employee must give the Library prior notice that they have been summoned for jury duty.

So they would get paid their normal hourly rate for whatever scheduled time they missed.

Hope this helps!

What do other libraries do regarding Snow Days and hourly employee pay? If they are scheduled to work and the library closes due to snow, do they get paid?

Other acts of God, so to speak, like power outages, etc... Do the hourly employees get paid for their regularly scheduled time?

Jury Duty- our current policy states the following:

If a salaried employee is called for Jury Duty, the employee's regular pay shall be maintained by the library for a period of, but not to exceed 5 working days. Salaried employees are required to reimburse the library for the jury pay received (Excluding travel reimbursements) while regular pay is maintained. Jury duty beyond 5 days required a leave of absence without pay. Hourly employees will not receive compensation from the library for jury duty.

So, my question is how do other libraries treat jury duty and employee pay? Current jury duty pay in the state is a measly $30 a day for the first 5 days and $45 afterwards. Since my hourly employees make more than $15 an hour, they will be losing money. Doesn't seem fair.
