The 欧美视频 values its employees and supports each department's managerial decision to offer flextime to nonexempt, regular, full-time or part-time staff, provided the job is appropriate for flextime and the missions of the department and the university are uncompromised and met. The "Flextime Policy for Nonexempt Employees" establishes procedures for UCM supervisors and employees when implementing flextime within departments.
A supervisor may establish a work schedule which is different than the regular workdays and workweek, for an employee or group of employees as long as the schedule meets the needs of the department and university, and is not designed to evade the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Any nonexempt employee working a non-standard schedule should have the schedule documented and maintained in employee's departmental files.
Flextime - Flextime is the term used for variable work hours that permit flexibility in starting and ending times within limits set by management. A flextime work schedule is any alternative work schedule for employees who normally work the regular 8-hour, 5-day workweek, usually commencing at 8:00 a.m. and ending at 5:00 p.m., but is still a schedule.
Workweek - The university's normal workweek for nonexempt employees will be 40 hours per week, including rest periods, beginning at 12:00:01 a.m. on Sunday and ending at 12:00:00 (midnight) the following Saturday. This workweek will not be changed, and any hours worked in excess of 40 during that workweek will be compensated at time and one half. The normal workweek consists of five 8-hour days.
Workdays - Employees will be assigned regular workdays within each workweek. Regular workdays do not need to be consecutive within the workweek. An employee's regular workdays may be adjusted temporarily or on an ongoing basis if the employee is given notice from the supervisor.
Work Schedule - The university's core business hours during the academic year are from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. During the summer term business hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. All offices are expected to maintain coverage during those hours. Offices which have sufficient coverage are encouraged to remain open during the lunch hour.
The university's core business hours during the standard workweek are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. During the summer term business hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday throught Friday. Offices must be appropriately staffed and open for business during these hours before flextime can be considered an option. If a flextime position becomes vacant, the position will revert back to regular working hours.
