[quote=Anonymous]For me, it has been a two-prong issue.

The first is the actual policy, which is that if the government is closed, we are closed and everyone gets admin leave. We follow the government automatically on the first day and then for subsequent days, the office manager makes the call about whether we're open or not. If the office is open and I can't come to work because DD's school is closed, I have to take PTO, which I am annoyed about but which I find reasonable anyway. I am not supposed to do extensive work from home, and wouldn't get a ton done while hanging out with a 4 year old anyway.

The other is the effects on the work load. Our clients don't stop needing things simply because the DC office is closed. I check my email at home and respond to things that are time sensitive, either answering the question or letting the asker know that the office is closed and that I will get back to them when it's open. It has been problematic to have so many closures, and I've not been able to stay home with DD for all of the closures and have made other arrangements for her.

As for your situation, not everyone has the back up care arrangements you have. I don't. It sounds like the issue is that she is not able to make up the work. This hasn't been a problem for me. I've never been able to catch up on something after a day back in the office. [/quote]
