Flexible Work Schedules

With supervisory approval, some flexibility in the starting time of work and lunch breaks is permitted, provided that the business needs of the office and University are met. Supervisors may also provide flexibility in the work week upon consultation with the executive director of Human Resources as long as offices remain open during the standard workday (8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday) and as long as the business needs of the office and University are met. For example, some departments may wish to permit employees to work their 35 or 40 hours in four days instead of five during the summer. Some departments may be able to offer a reduced work schedule during the summer, in which case, salary and benefits would also be prorated during the reduced schedule.
