# 1.  Meeting Summary
I confirmed the immediate operational response to send employees home due to the outage and aligned on how pay should be handled.  The key point was that employees would be paid for the missed time, but those paid non-worked hours would not count toward overtime, consistent with how we handle inclement weather.  We also clarified that temporary workers would not be paid, assuming we follow normal snow day precedent.

There was some uncertainty around the exact payroll code to use, but the expectation was to use the same code as inclement weather, with Kate and Lisa to finalize that.  We also discussed the possibility that systems may not be back up by 7:00 AM the next day, so I committed to check with IT and then coordinate with Steve on whether a morning closure communication would be needed.  Operationally, there was no need to keep a skeleton crew on site since there were no trucks to load or other warehouse activities requiring coverage.

# 2.  Attendee List
- Scott Warner
- Steve Wade

# 3.  Action Items
- [Scott Warner] Confirm with IT how soon we can know whether systems will be restored before the next morning's shift.
- [Scott Warner] Text Steve Wade later that evening with an update on whether a morning call or closure communication will be needed.
- [Steve Wade] Send employees home.
- [Steve Wade] If needed, prepare to send a snow day-style text communication to employees regarding next morning operations.
- [Kate] Determine the correct payroll code to use for the paid send-home time.
- [Lisa] Support Kate in finalizing payroll treatment/details.

# 4.  Relevant Timelines
- Immediate: Send employees home due to the outage.
- Same day/evening: I will confirm status with IT and text Steve Wade with an update.
- By 7:00 AM next morning: Determine whether systems are back up and whether a closure/delay text needs to go out.

# 5.  Additional Notes
- We aligned that overtime applies only to hours actually worked, not to paid non-worked time associated with this closure.
- The working assumption was to treat this similarly to a snow day from a payroll and communications standpoint.
- Temporary employees are not expected to be paid under this scenario, based on normal precedent.
- Steve indicated headquarters was not confident systems would be restored by 7:00 AM, although that remained the hope.
- There was no operational reason to retain a small crew, since no trucks or other immediate warehouse activities required support.
- One practical dependency is ensuring employees are signed up for the text alert system if a morning communication is required.
