Employee ‘rights’ during snow, severe weather

[Butterbean]

4. I'm a nurse, and the official policy at my hospital states

that I am expected to do everything possible to show up for my shift, including spending the night at the hospital. The hospital does put us up in a hotel for really bad storms, but you can opt to just stay at the hospital in an empty patient room if you wish, too. The hospital is no longer providing transportation after this year (they have a team of volunteer snow drivers), as it is deemed too high of a liability/risk thing.

I watch the weather closely in the winter, and if it's looking like it's going to be hard/scary/dangerous for me to drive to work (I have a long commute), then I just go spend the night at the hospital.
