Flexible Work Schedules. An employee may request a modification of their current work schedule to another schedule. The Employer, or its designees, may approve or deny flexible work schedules and retain the responsibility for determining exemptions from, or terminations of, flexible work schedules which adversely affect the operation of the Minnesota Judicial Branch or the level of service to the public.
Flexible Work Schedules. (a) Flexible Work Schedules (FWS) are schedules for which an employee may vary the length of their workday and/or workweek. For FWS, the term Basic Work Requirement means the number of hours, excluding overtime hours, which an employee is required to work or is required to account for by leave or otherwise. The administrative workweek for those on a Flexible Schedule is a period of 7 consecutive days beginning on Sunday. A flexible or compressed work schedule is a scheduled tour of duty and all work performed by an employee within the basic work requirement is considered regularly scheduled work for premium pay and hours of duty purposes (5 CFR § 610.111 (d)). Scheduled hours may vary from pay period to pay period, week-to-week, and day-to-day. An employee’s tour of duty and established work schedule will be recorded in the header of the Paycheck record.
(b) The following FWS may be approved byManagement:
(1) Variable day schedule is a type of FWS containing core hours on each workday in the week and in which a full-time employee has a basic work requirement of 40 hours in each week of the biweekly pay period, but in which an employee may vary the number of hours worked on a given workday within the week within the limits established in this article. Employees must work 5 consecutive days in each week of the pay period. For a part-time employee, the basic work requirement is the number of hours the employee must work in a week.
(2) Variable week schedule is a type of FWS containing core hours on each workday in the biweekly pay period and in which a full-time employee has a basic work requirement of i. 80 hours for the biweekly pay period, but in which an employee may vary the number of hours worked on a given workday or the number of hours each week within the limits established in this article. Employees must work 5 consecutive days in each week of the pay period. For a part-time employee, the basic work requirement is the number of hours the employee must work in a pay period.
(3) Maxiflex schedule is a type of FWS in which the employee may vary the number of hours per day and the number of days per week, accounting for at least 80 hours per pay period, including core hours. There are core hours on fewer than 10 workdays per pay period. For a part-time employee, the basic work requirement is the number of hours the employee must work in a pay period.
(4) Gliding schedule is a type of FWS in which a full-time employee has a basic work requirement of 8 ho...
Flexible Work Schedules a. The Parties agree that flexible work schedules (FWS’s) will be used service- wide according to the following guidelines and approved schedules, for the purpose of improved productivity and greater service to the public, according to Title 5, United States Code, Sections 6120-6133 (5 U.S.C. 6120-6133).
Flexible Work Schedules. When operationally appropriate and determined to be in the best interest of the City, departments may establish flexible work schedules. Establishment of such schedules shall be in the sole discretion of the Department Head with the approval of the City Manager.
Flexible Work Schedules. The Union or the County may request to meet and discuss flexible workweek arrangements. The department shall retain the right to develop flexible work schedules in accordance with Administrative Policy No. 62. Sideletter agreements between the County and Union shall supersede this article.
Flexible Work Schedules. (a) Academic Professional staff members throughout the University may have, as indicated below, flexible work schedules. For example, Academic Professionals often travel on University business and/or work evenings and weekends. A flexible work schedule is defined as having established working hours different from the standard 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday schedule, to be followed by an employee for an agreed upon period of time.
(b) Employees interested in flexible work schedules should make a request in writing to their supervisor. Administrators of Academic Professionals are responsible for the work schedules in their units. They have the discretion to consider flexing employee schedules when requested and if suitable for positions in their area. In many cases flexible work schedules may be a positive option benefiting the Academic Professional and the Department; however, in some cases it may not be practical. For more information about flexible work schedules (including other requirements, suitability, and the approval process), please see the Human Resources website at xxx.xxx.xxx/xx.
(c) For full-time overtime-exempt Academic Professionals, the workload is expected to be approximately 2080 hours per year. Overtime-exempt Academic Professionals have no expectation of receiving additional salary for hours that exceed this number. The Association and the University acknowledge that the amount of work may cycle with time of year, specific assignments, and/or other situational demands. In the event that an overtime-exempt Academic Professional's workload is unusually high for some period of time, it is often appropriate to provide additional flexibility in order to balance out the Academic Professional's work commitment. In such cases, the Academic Professional must work in cooperation with the relevant supervisor to determine when and how such adjustments will be made. (For example, an employee's schedule in subsequent weeks could be adjusted; or, if the workload increases cyclically, there could be a subsequent decrease in work schedule.) This is not intended as an hour-for-hour adjustment, but rather as a mechanism to provide flexibility in an overtime-exempt Academic Professional’s work schedule in keeping with work-life balance ideals. It is not necessary for exempt employees to maintain complex records of hours worked.
(d) During the period of this agreement the Human Resources department will, upon request, provide training for Acade...
Flexible Work Schedules. The normal hours for employees who work flexible work schedules will consist of thirty-five (35) hours per week. Employees shall have the ability to work in excess of the normal daily tour referred to in 17.01 above without entitlement to daily overtime but shall retain the entitlement to overtime premium for all approved hours worked in excess of thirty-five (35) hours per week.
17.04 a) The Employer will make every reasonable effort to provide employees with three (3) out of every four (4) weekends off but in no circumstance, unless agreed to by the employee, will an employee working the normal daily tour or a combination schedule be required to work more than two (2) weekends out of every four (4) weekends in which case 17.04
Flexible Work Schedules. Flexible work hours may be established by the commissioner of the employing department. The commissioner or the commissioner's designee shall be the approving authority for requests for flexible hours.
Flexible Work Schedules. A flexible schedule is defined as a work schedule that requires a change, modification or waiver of certain provisions of this Agreement. Flexible work schedules may be established in writing by mutual agreement between the Swedish Medical Center and the nurse involved. See Addendum’s for specific work schedules. Prior to the implementation of a new flexible work schedule, the Employer and the Union will review and determine conditions of employment relating to that new work schedule. Where flexible work schedules are utilized, the Employer retains the right to revert back to an eight (8) hour per day schedule or a flexible schedule recognized by this Agreement after at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice to the nurse, or pay in lieu of notice.
Flexible Work Schedules. The current practice of flex time shall be continued. Management reserves the right to change schedules, including flexible schedules, however, employees will not have their flex time schedules terminated in an arbitrary or capricious manner and such changes shall be made for a rational management purpose. The use of flexible work schedules shall be a subject for discussion in the Agency/Facility Professional Committees. Flexible work schedules can include adjusting the starting and quitting times of the work days and/or the number of hours worked per day and the number of days worked per week. The Employer agrees to consider flexible work schedules for particular employees or classifications. The Employer agrees to consider such options as four (4) ten (10) hour days, twelve (12) hour shifts, and/or other creative scheduling patterns that may assist in the recruitment and/or retention of nurses and other employees. Subject to the employer's right to schedule employees to satisfy its operational needs, such a schedule will be implemented upon the request of the union and affected employees. Should recruitment difficulties become more severe in certain classifications, the Employer may explore and implement various arrangements to assist in recruiting such as shift differential, pay supplements, and variable weekend work plans. In order to be able to implement some flexible work schedules, and where consistent with Federal Law, the Employer may allow a full-time employee(s) to work less than forty (40) hours in a week and more than forty (40) hours in the other week within the same pay period. An employee(s) permitted to shift his/her work hours shall be eligible for overtime pay or compensatory time only after eighty (80) hours in an active pay status in a pay period. Flexible work schedules may, by mutual agreement, be used for pre-scheduled medical appointment s. In addition, the trading of shifts may also be granted, by mutual agreement, for pre-scheduled medical appointments.
