Here is a reference:

Employees and supervisors should use personal discretion in deciding 
whether or not they can safely report to work.

If an employee is delayed, absent or leaves early under the University’s 
policy, he or she must account for the time missed, with the approval of 
the supervisor, by one of the following methods: Accrued vacation leave, 
accrued personal days or adjusted work schedule (wherever applicable) in 
the same work week.



So suppose you are a secretary at MU, and turn up for work.  Since 
hardly anyone else is going to be there, you are going to be twiddling 
your thumbs.  What if your supervisor doesn't show up - will they even 
know you turned up?

And what does an employee who has no vacation time left do if they live 
on a street covered with snow?
