All business services (contract) operations should check with their site supervisor for impacts to their schedules.

ASSOCIATES: If you have questions or concerns or are unsure where your location falls in the closure list above, please contact your supervisor directly.  Please notify your supervisor if you lose power during this storm, or experience other storm-related impacts.

Reminder of Policies Related to Leave for Closings

  • In the event that one of Goodwill’s facilities should experience an all-day closure, early closure, or late opening due to an emergency situation, such as inclement weather, nonexempt associates may access accrued sick time, in addition to available vacation or personal time, to “make whole” hours for scheduled time missed due to the closure.
  • In the event that one of Goodwill’s facilities is closed for a week or more, exempt associates may access accrued sick time, in addition to available vacation or personal time, to be paid for time attributable to the closure.
