Okla. Stat. tit. 74, § 74-840-2.20A: Agency closings and reductions in services -

Employee leave or relocation.

A. When an agency of the State of Oklahoma or part of such an

agency is closed because of an imminent peril threatening the public

health, safety, or welfare of state employees or the public, the

appointing authority shall place employees who are scheduled to work

in the closed area on paid administrative leave or shall assign them

to work in another location. Employees who are on paid

administrative leave shall be in standby or on-call status during

their normal scheduled duty hours. The appointing authority may

call such employees to return to their normal duties and work

location or respond to the demands of the situation as necessary.

B. When the Governor or a designee of the Governor authorizes

agencies or parts of agencies to maintain basic minimum services

because hazardous weather conditions impede or delay the movement of

employees to and from work, employees responsible for providing such

basic minimum services shall report to work. Appointing authorities

of agencies shall be responsible for determining essential agency

functions and ensuring that employees who staff such functions are

so informed. Leave alternatives for those employees not responsible

for basic minimum services shall be established by the Director of

the Office of Management and Enterprise Services.

C. Appointing authorities of affected agencies shall notify the

Office of Management and Enterprise Services of agency closings and

reductions in services pursuant to this section.

D. The provisions of this section are applicable to agencies

and employees in the executive department of state government,

including those on temporary and other limited term appointments.

The provisions of this section shall not be applicable to employees

of institutions within The Oklahoma State System of Higher

Education.

E. The Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise

Services shall adopt rules necessary to implement the provisions of

this section.
