200.810 Flexible Work Schedules (Flextime)

   1.   When an employee and supervisor agree the employee’s effectiveness at work will be maintained or improved, a request for a flexible work schedule may be approved if flextime is suited to the position and the department or library.

   2.   Work schedule window: The director will approve a window of days and hours during which employees may schedule a flexible schedule, which may vary by facility.  This window will consider employee safety and security issues.

   3.   Core time: Supervisors may establish work hours when all employees in the department/ library must be present unless on approved leave.

   4.   Workweek: Employees are responsible for working their assigned hours each week, unless on approved leave.  Part-time employees are not authorized to work more than forty hours in any week unless they are approved for overtime.

   5.   Eligibility: Flextime is not appropriate or feasible for all positions, libraries, or departments.  Eligibility for flextime will depend upon an assessment of whether an employee’s proposed work schedule will enable the employee to fully meet performance expectations.  Employees in the orientation/introductory period will be required to work during the standard hours for the department or library.

   6.   Approval: Flextime is extended as a privilege, the continuation of which depends on employee’s meeting all job expectations while on the new schedule.  The Manager/ Supervisor will approve schedule changes, the frequency with which employees can change schedules and the coordination of schedules within the department or library.  Flextime arrangements may be revoked at any time if an employee’s supervisor judges that an employee is not performing adequately or if flextime schedules interfere with productivity.
