Flexible Work Arrangements. (a) Notwithstanding Article 9.01, if a non-shift employee requests a flexible daily hours of work system, and where operational requirements permit, the Employing Authority shall endeavor to approve the employee's request and such request shall not be unreasonably denied. (b) Upon the request of a non-shift employee and the concurrence of the Employing Authority, an employee may complete the average weekly hours of work in a period other than five (5) full days provided that over a period of fourteen (14) or twenty-one (21) or twenty-eight (28) calendar days, an employee works an average of thirty-seven and one-half (37½) or forty (40) hours per week according to the hours of work code. (c) Variations in an employee's daily hours of work may occur as a result of staggered starting or finishing times or alteration in the amount of time taken as a lunch break. The lunch break for an employee will not be less than one-half (½) hour and not more than one and one-half (1½) hours. (d) An employee wanting to establish a flexible hours schedule must submit a request to the Employing Authority and receive approval. Any such approval shall be for an initial trial period of three (3) months following which the arrangement shall be extended on an indefinite basis provided the Employing Authority and the employee are in mutual agreement. Extensions can be denied or terminated dependent upon operational requirements. (e) All requests and responses in this Article shall be in writing.
