CLICK HERE FOR FULL MEMO WITH AQI CHART

Please be informed that all Tribal employees will be entitled to four ( 4) hours of excused time off with pay for Thursday, September 5, 2024 from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm. (This is in addition to the four hours previously granted for the afternoon of September 5, and full day Friday, September 6, 2024).

In order to receive pay for the excused time off, the employee must be at work or in an approved paid leave status on the scheduled workday before and after Thursday and Friday, September 5 & 6, 2024.

The AQI (Air Quality Index) for PM2.5 (particulate matter 2.5 microns) is very likely to drastically elevate over the next 12 hours as smoke drifts through the region. Some areas in ND are already seeing AQl’s in excess of 300, which will impact just about everyone – not just those with respiratory conditions.

Please take necessary precautions and check in on our elders and those with health conditions to ensure their wellbeing. Please see second of this memo for health risks! Thank you to the SRST EPA Department for providing the Tribe with this information.
Should you have any questions, please contact Human Resources Office at 854-3826.
