[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just say she is expected to work or else she'll start thinking she gets days off. Also, she might start hoping for special rides (cab, car service) every time a little snow hits the ground.

And no, it's NOT normal to pay twice.[/quote]

I'm the PP that posted the language suggestion, and this is what I would be afraid of exactly.  Better to have her assuming that she will work and being able to then extend the day off than have her assuming that she's entitled to a day off whenever OPM calls off and then feeling disgruntled when you ask her to come in.  Remember last year when we got called off for like three days and it only rained?  OPM seems to have a stance since that disaster snow where everyone was stuck in traffic until midnight of calling off and just letting people plan to telework (also there has been a big telework push).  They don't really mean for people not to work, they mean for people to telework.

This is also the reason I would clarify exactly when you would be paying for a taxi.  Again, for those rain days - you don't mean that you would be paying for a taxi literally every time OPM calls off.  You mean that if she really can't make it in on the Metro (like Metro is closed) and you really need her there, then you'll pay for a taxi.[/quote]
