[quote=Anonymous]OP, honestly, I'd make it sound more like the expectation would be that she WOULD work on a snow day and then you can be the one telling her she wouldn't.  The ways it's worded, she might figure she has all Federal days off except for a rare occasion, which might surprise it when it actually happens.  Also clarify when you would actually be providing transportation.  Especially with last years' closings where it turned out to just be raining, you don't want to be paying for a car service/taxi unless it's really necessary.

Maybe something like this?

"Inclement Weather Policy: Our jobs do not necessarily follow the Federal Government delay start and closure schedule.  Should OPM announce that the Federal Government is closed, we will be in touch with you as soon as possible to inform you whether we will need you to come to work or not.  Particularly if we are traveling for business, you will be expected to work if at all possible.  If it is impossible to travel using public transportation, we will pay for convenient, safe travel via a taxi or car service.

Should we require you to work on a day the Federal Government is closed, you will be paid your normal rate.  Should we require you to work on a day the Federal Government is closed and offer to provide safe travel to our home, and you decline to arrive, you will be charged one vacation day."
