Friday, an email was sent out to all NC State employees referencing a policy of the UNC System that requires employees to use paid time off if they don’t come into work on a snow day. Employees who didn’t come into work on Jan. 22, after the university told non-essential employees to stay home, are now being required to use a paid day off to make up for the absence. “If we had notice, I would be more understanding,” an employee of the university who asked not to be named in fear of losing his job, told WRAL. “It was sprung on us … after everybody had made their decisions. We can’t go back and work those hours. We’re stuck.”
