PURPOSE

The official university workweek is from 12:00 a.m. Saturday to midnight Friday. The standard workweek for full-time SPA (Staff) employees is 40 hours, an eight-hour daily work schedule with a one-hour meal break. A meal period is at least 30 minutes where the employee is released of all work duties.

COVERED EMPLOYEES

All SPA (Staff) employees are covered.

PROCEDURE

1. Flexible Work Schedule
Supervisors arrange and adjust work schedules to meet program and operational needs. Some organizational unit work requires predetermined work schedules which do not allow flexibility. Within these limits and with supervisory approval, an employee may request a variable work schedule. An employee requesting a change in work schedule should provide sufficient notice and justification to the supervisor. Supervisors may approve changes that are not detrimental to the work unit and that are fair and equitable to all employees.

2. Limitations
An employee who reports late to work may make up that time by extending the workday if it is consistent with the work needs of the unit and does not invoke overtime provisions under the Wage-Hour Policy. Otherwise, tardiness must be charged against the employee’s vacation leave.
