Potential Plant Closure in Philadelphia
Authorities are predicting additional severe winter weather that may well impact travel and commuting in the tri-state area. Current plans call for the Boeing Ridley Park plant to be open tomorrow, Feb. 10, with all shifts running normally. The Ridley Park site will close only in the event of a government declared state of emergency.
Should the area be hit with heavy winter weather please keep the following reminders in mind when considering your commute to work:
- Regardless of any decision from the Penn. Governor's office, it is possible that your state (Delaware or New Jersey) may be under a state of emergency. Boeing's employees should obey the applicable local laws and declarations during any weather emergency.
- Employees should call the Philadelphia emergency number (610-591-PAGE or 610-591-7243) or listen to KYW for plant closing information on suspension of operations.
- There is a possibility that employees will encounter some parking lot closures. Certain lots are likely to be closed temporarily, throughout the day, so they can be adequately cleared to handle any new snowfall amounts. Employee safety and security are of prime importance during this or any weather emergency. Boeing leadership realizes that local weather and road conditions may make commuting to work unsafe for employees.
All employees are encouraged to mark this Web site and check it frequently for updates on site closures or resumption of operations. You may also check the Employee Hotline numbers provided above. (TTY not available on employee hotline numbers. Please check this site for updates)
If conditions deteriorate to the point where travel is not safe:
- Employees whose duties do not require work to be performed at the plant are encouraged to work virtually, with manager approval. Check with your manager to determine if this is an option for you.
- Employees whose duties require work performed onsite are strongly encouraged to be mindful of their safety and to work with their managers to arrange use of available paid time off or personal time off without pay to cover any time missed due to the weather.
- Managers are encouraged to be flexible during these unusual circumstances and are reminded to be consistent and fair with all employees.
Recording of time and pay for time not worked during a weather-related absence or suspension of operations will be in accordance with PRO 6652, "Paid Time Away From Work". Boeing employees can check with their manager regarding the correct way to charge their time (flex their time, paid time off, etc).
