Language Library: Inclement Weather

Here are some sample letters to send to existing babysitting clients to alert them to a change in babysitting fees. The Language Library is a perk available to Supporting Members.

How do you guys handle being forced to come in to work during a huge snowstorm. Usually I will still drive but I couldn't get out of my parkade. It's so icy. Took me 15 min to lay down gravel that my condo has outside. Got out of it then got stuck on the other hill. My boss basically said find a way here cuz "we can't cancel our day". Said she'd only pay half of my Uber. I shouldn't have to pay drive 30 min outside the city to go to work in a snowstorm. Uber was $100. My db text me separately from our group chat to tell me to ignore mb and he'll pay my Uber. But now I'm stuck at work for 2 days and can't go home and when I do, it'll cost me to take an Uber home. I'm upset and feel like I'll need to talk to mb about this when she comes home but not sure what to say.

Here is a sample text to send to your employer(s) when you don’t have an inclement weather clause in your contract and have realized that you both have different expectations of how to handle an inclement weather day.

MomBoss and DadBoss,

This has been quite the learning experience for all of us. Going forward, I will not be traveling in dangerous weather conditions- not even in an Uber as accidents can still happen even if I am not behind the wheel. If the forecast says to stay off of the roads due to dangerous conditions I will not be coming in. These are also paid days off due to inclement weather. Thanks for understanding.
