Bert, I wrote out a detailed response but I guess i didn't press send.. gah. But I our office does what Mark describes. The only thing is, we do not make a decision at 5pm unless it's 100% certain there will be flooding (like Harvey). The doctor makes the call early in the morning. If she can get to work, then the office is "open." If the staff can't get to work or gets there late, they are paid whatever hours they work.
