Ban employers from penalizing workers for being absent and/or late during a declared a state of emergency due to weather

Created by A.T. on December 20, 2012

Employers should not be able to give demerit points or take other steps towards reprimanding their employees for being unable to make it to work during a official weather emergency.

Employees should not feel as though they must put their lives on the line driving through deadly conditions to maintain employment or avoid possible repercussions for being absent or late.
