Synopsis A practice evolved whereby a number of process specialists and psychologists adjusted their work schedules to commence late and leave early when the schools at which they were working did so. There is a written policy of the BOE concerning the practice of starting schools late or closing early in periods of inclement weather. This policy is for the students and does not apply to the grievants. Grievants were reminded of this policy by memorandum. Grievance denied; School officials are authorized to established and enforce daily work hours of its employees but a change of a long standing practice should only be made after notice to the affected employees prior to enforcement.
