Alternative Work Schedule
NUMBER: IV-07
(Formerly Policy IV-A-10)
When mission requirements
permit, alternative work schedules will be available to employees with the
concurrence of the supervisor. The purpose of adopting an alternative or
flexible work schedule is to accommodate, where feasible, the changing needs of
the family, especially in regard to day care and school schedules and to allow
some flexibility for employees during summer months.
The following are guidelines
for administering the alternative work schedule policy.
1.
Core business hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday
during the academic year. Core business hours may shift in the summer months to
provide an earlier end to the work day -- 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with employees
utilizing a one-half hour lunch period rather than one hour. Sufficient staff
must be available to serve the needs of the students, public and the
administration.
2.
Any change in scheduling should allocate at least a one-half hour lunch
break every day.
3.
Alternative work schedules must be arranged with the concurrence of the
immediate supervisor as well as the executive council member responsible for the
employee. Employees and supervisors are encouraged to establish consistency in
the time an employee is available to the public and co-workers. All approved
alternative work scheduled need to be filed with the Human Resources Office.
4.
Supervisors will make every effort to allow employees to work the
predetermined schedule, however, if unforeseen circumstances and/or workload
issues arise, the schedule may need to be changed to address those needs.
5.
Employees working other than an eight hour day may be required to adjust
their flexible work schedule with the concurrence of the immediate supervisor
during weeks in which a holiday falls.
