Common use of Family Responsibility Time Clause in Contracts

Family Responsibility Time. The provision of family responsibility time, separate from sick leave, is intended to assist employees with balancing their family and work responsibilities. Sick leave should be used only to provide employees with income during periods of their own illness. (a) The operational requirements of the University must be met. However, it is recognized that effort will be required to accommodate requests for family responsibility time (FRT). (b) Seven (7) days at any given time of FRT will be provided to all regular full- time employees. Two (2) days of FRT will be provided to temporary full- time employees. FRT may be used in amounts not less than one (1) hour, will be requested in advance if possible, and will be granted unless precluded by operational requirements. (c) FRT will be available on a “borrow” basis, to be repaid by mutual agreement between employee and supervisor. FRT can be repaid by, for example, working shortened lunch breaks, starting work earlier or working late. The minimum arrangement for re payment of FRT time must be in segments no less than ½ hour. This time is not considered overtime and does not accrue at the overtime rate. Only when an employee is requested by their supervisor to work approved overtime, will the time be calculated at the appropriate overtime rate (and may be applied toward any outstanding FRT balance due). (d) Employees may draw FRT repetitively provided they do not exceed seven
