That's what the Kronos page said anyways. Are you saying your comment was addressing some Gartner research? Could you reference it here? Wasn’t this study done by Harris Interactive?

When bad weather hits or is predicted to hit many retail organization have a need for more help rather then less help. Example in case of pending storms, (hurricanes) big box retailers, grocery, home supply store, and c-stores need all of the help they can get to serve the increase customer demand. Then you need to figure out how much time you need to give that same help so they can be with their families and prepare and get out of storms way. In a later scenario you need to schedule the return of key people so you can get up and running asap. Mel Kleiman CSP President of Humetrics Just some additional thoughts.

If I do get stuck in horrible traffic during winter storms, at least I can just sit there and read magazines or play with my laptop. This is why I got a bus pass.
