Doesn't work that way...I'm a teacher...we have no "Liberal Leave" policy...gotta go to work even when school is cancelled. During the last big blow, I got docked pay and a letter in my file because I didn't show up even when they went to "Stage III" snow emergency...no vehicles on road but emergency, fire and police.....
