hazard pay (self.starbucksbaristas)

What constitutes getting hazard pay? A while ago there was an active shooter on the street my store is on and there were around 15 cop cars and 3 SWAT cars and OUR STORE WAS STILL OPEN. Were we supposed to get hazard pay?

“occasionally an unforeseen circumstance, such as a natural disaster (e.g. hurricane, earthquake, or wildfire) or a major incident (e.g., power outage, ruptured gas line, or public safety event), may force the closure of one or more sbux stores during normal business hours. severe weather conditions may cause the temporary disruption or suspension of sbux normal business operations.

in such situations, the sm will make recommendations about conditions and work with the leadership team and partner resources to determine whether the situation should be declared either a catastrophic or inclement weather event. upon approval, partners may then be eligible for either inclement weather pay or catastrophe pay for scheduled time not worked as a result of the event.”

from the partner guide.

so I’d guess no since your store was still open and you were still on the clock and still getting paid your normal rate. catastrophe pay is moreso for hours not worked but supposed to but forced closure of the store caused you to miss out on those hours.

we've had gas leaks and power outages, times where we had to fully evacuate the store and I'm pretty sure we didn't get hazard pay lol, didn't even know that was a thing for baristas...
