Total Suspended Operations

There are situations where your work schedule may be disrupted due to things out of your control: weather events, power outages, etc. When the majority of the college is affected, a Triton Alert (link how to sign up) will be sent. It is important for you to know whether to report to work or not.

Total Suspended Operations is the contract language where most employees will not report for their work shift.  Synonyms: All classes and activities are canceled, all operations are suspended, suspended operations and college closed.

Late Start is the contract language where most employees will report to their work shift later than their usual start time. Synonyms: delay, delayed

Early Closure is the contract language where most employees will stop working when the early closure time is announced.

Remote Operations is not in the contract language . Most employees will work their schedule in a remote location.

Closure of a work zone

February 4, will be a delayed opening. All classes and activities will begin at 10:00 a.m. (This was a tricky message because it was tacked on to the Feb 3 alert, and didn't go out separately on Feb 4.)
