[quote=Anonymous]Here is what I would do:

A. Set a policy. Without one it is hard for employees to know what is acceptable or expected. A good/typical policy is that employees are allowed to use accrued vacation time as unscheduled leave due to bad weather. You may need to adjust this tough if like my company vacation is use it or lose and we start out with all our vacation days in January even thought they aren’t really accrued (for example, if we took all leave in January and left our job in march we’d have to pay back the days we used that were not really accrued.

B. Talk to this employee and let her know that while you understand that weather is unpredictable and that she needed to take time off, however,  she also needs to think about a back-up plan and that taking unpaid leave is not acceptable. Let her know that you expect her to make up the time that she has takes off and do what is necessary to get caught up on her work.

I also agree that this time of year you need to account for people taking some time off for these sort of situations. Not every winter will be as bad at this one
