Good stuff fairfax. Take that Marty. Lol
What about if applied for leave today and tomorrow how does that work
If you already have leave approved (sick or annual), emergency leave does not apply. You’re still using your own leave.
I think you have already scheduled leave you don’t get the admin leave. Your dept HR should be able to explain it. It’s the same if today, Thursday was your approved telework day, you had to telework unless you lost power.
If I have a regular schedule of 8 – 4:30 and lunch from noon to 1 pm, would it be the same if I came in at 1 pm and worked until 4:30? Thanks
Is it worth the expense of opening all buildings & running utilities for jus 4 hours? Seems more cost effective to close alltogether..
i can’t believe i’m expected to get in by noon. the best i can do is 12:30 and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. i’m invincible!!!!!
why are people posting questions about their individual leave situations on a county blog? c’mon, fairfax county, your better then that
Will Fairfax County have MAIL DELIVERY TODAY?
REQUEST: AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PLEASE PLOW – OLD SAYBROOK COURT. This short cul-de-sac was missed yesterday when the surrounding streets were plowed (Elmview Place, Old Saybrook Way, and Seneca Knoll Drive).
Thank you

The snow removal trucks did improper job about removing snow in our neighborhood area, they just drove over night and showeled snow at bustops, pathways, corners of every house. The FCPS school buses cannot even drive thru our neighborhood to pick-up school kids. Do you want the kids to stand over the pile of snow for buses and get hypothermias? It is Fairfax County’s duty to prevent safety and accidents happening. Close schools on February-Monday 17th. Prevention is better than cure. Do not put our children’s life under risk.
