What Announcement Means
Base functions will open on time, and employees are expected to report for work as scheduled. 

Additional Guidance
Organizations should be as flexible as possible in approving leave for employees who face emergency situations or other hardships (e.g., when schools/child care centers open late or are closed). 

Unless the base is closed, operating status updates are for civilian leave and pay purposes. Military members must communicate with their chain of command for leave and duty status. 

What Announcement Means
Employees not designated as "weather emergency essential personnel" are excused from duty without loss of pay or charge to leave.

"Weather emergency essential personnel" are expected to report for work on time.

Additional Guidance
Workdays on which Tinker AFB is closed are non-workdays for leave purposes.

Employees who are on approved leave before the closure must be granted excused absence. This does not apply to employees on LWOP, military leave, suspension, or in a nonpay status.

Employees on alternative work schedules (AWS) are NOT entitled to another AWS day off "in lieu of" the workday on which the agency is closed. 

For employees on shifts other than Day Shift, the calendar day on which a shift begins is considered the day of duty, even though it may extend into the next calendar day.

What Announcement Means
Tinker AFB functions will open on time, but employees not designated as "weather emergency essential personnel" may take annual leave or leave without pay (LWOP) without prior approval of their supervisors.

"Weather Emergency Essential Personnel" are expected to report for work on time.

Additional Guidance
Employees must inform their supervisors if they plan to take annual leave or LWOP. If an employee fails to report for work and has not informed the supervisor of his or her plans to take leave, the organization may charge the employee absence without leave.

Unless the base is closed, operating status updates are for civilian leave and pay purposes. Military members must communicate with their chain of command for leave and duty status.
