Operating Policies and Procedures Manual

Effective Date:  07/01/93
Policy Number:  07-12
Section:  Human Resources
Subject:  Work Schedules

POLICY

Work schedules are determined on the basis of the needs and requirements of each unit and are designed to:

  1. Provide orderly and efficient service

  2. Provide regularly recurring consecutive hours of work where practicable

  3. Avoid overtime.
Regular office hours for the university are 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.  Lunch periods (one hour) for employees are to be scheduled to allow offices to remain open
during the noon hour.

Full-time staff members are scheduled for 40 hours of work each week.  In most units, this consists of five 8-hour days.  Special characteristics inherent to some positions and temporary work situations may warrant establishing schedules that vary from the pattern.  Starting and quitting times may vary from unit to unit and within a unit.

Special rearranged workweek schedules should be discussed with the Department of Human Resources personnel prior to implementation.

All non-exempt staff members are required to maintain time sheets documenting the actual hours worked each week. Both the employee and supervisor are required to sign the time sheet, which is then stored within the department, available at any time for review by Human Resources. Leave request forms should be submitted to Human Resources for any hours not worked or compensatory (comp) time earned for hours worked in excess of 40.
