Our Priority: Student Care and Staff Safety
At Whitney Academy, our students require dedicated, 24/7 care. We also know that your safety is just as important. To ensure no one is left “stuck” at a house or struggling to commute during the height of the blizzard, we have put the following plans in place to support you and keep our operations running smoothly.
Early Reporting Options
- Arrive Early, Stay Safe: To ensure adequate staffing coverage and help you avoid dangerous travel, any staff member scheduled for 2nd or 3rd shift on Sunday or 1st shift on Monday may report to their assigned house up to 8 hours prior to their shift start.
- Staffing Support: Additional shifts are being made available across all houses to prevent any single team from being understaffed or overworked during the storm.
Compensation & Rates Staff who choose to report early to support the team and our students will be compensated as follows:
- Time and a half if you are working overtime in ratio.
- Standard rate of pay if you are not currently in ratio.
Accommodations & Supplies We want you to be as comfortable as possible while you are here supporting our students:
- All houses are fully stocked with extra food, blankets, and linens.
- We encourage you to bring any personal items or overnight essentials you may need to feel prepared.
Thank you for your incredible flexibility and your continued commitment to the safety of our students and your fellow team members.
