Flexible Hours Work Schedule Clause Samples

Flexible Hours Work Schedule. It is recognized by the parties that it may be advantageous both to individual teachers and to the educational program of the Lenox Public Schools to allow for flexible work scheduling. In consideration thereof, the Association and the Committee agree as follows: 1. A flexible work-hours schedule proposal may be submitted to the Superintendent by teachers and/or school or program administrators. Individual teachers and/or administrators shall be required to demonstrate the educational benefit to students. 2. Proposals should be submitted no later than April 1 of each year, and approved no later than May 15. Once approved, a flexible work schedule shall not be modified prior to the expiration of the approved proposal. 3. A flexible hours schedule shall be the equivalent of the total work time requirement which the individual teacher is required to work under the collective bargaining Agreement. No teacher shall be required to work non-contiguous hours, nor shall a teacher be required to work in excess of the total hours set forth in this contract. 4. Individual teachers who elect to participate in a flextime opportunity shall do so on a strictly voluntary basis. Flextime opportunities shall be made available to teachers on a voluntary basis through an in-house posting. In filling flextime postings, consideration shall be given to a teacher’s certification, area of competence, major and/or minor field of study, quality of teaching performance, attendance record and length of service in the Lenox School System. No member of the bargaining unit shall be assigned or transferred to said flex schedule involuntarily. 5. The Superintendent shall notify the LEA prior to final approval of any Flex Time arrangement. Said notification shall contain the names of the individuals involved and all details of the Flex Time arrangement. 6. The fact of an individual's participation or non-participation in the Flextime Program shall not adversely affect his/her evaluation or result in discipline, reassignment or transfer. 7. No members of the bargaining unit will lose a job or be reduced in time as a result of this flextime provision during the implementation or continuation of this provision.
