Hours of Work for Non-Sworn Employees. Non-Sworn Employees shall work five consecutive days of eight and one-half (8 1/2) hours, generally commencing at 8:30 a.m. and ending at 5:00 p.m. followed by two consecutive days off, except as provided under Section 8 of this agreement. Those employees who have selected a four-ten work schedule will work four (4) consecutive ten (10) hour shifts followed by three (3) consecutive days off. Those employees who have selected the 9/80 schedule will work four (4) consecutive nine and a half (9 1/2) hour shifts to take every other Friday or Monday off. For the purposes of computing time worked in this Section, all paid leave taken during a work week shall be computed as time worked; provided that, for computing overtime for training, Section 4.6 shall be used. For employees who have selected a four-ten work schedule, as agreed upon by City and the Association, who use either Sick or other Leave, such leave time worked will be computed on an hourly basis to ensure equitable treatment. Non-Sworn Employees shall be paid for eight (8) hours. One- half hour of their scheduled shift will be used for an unpaid meal period at or near the midpoint of the shift, unless directed by the supervisor that the needs of the Department require that the employee work through the scheduled lunch break. Non-Sworn Employees may take two (2) short break periods, not to exceed fifteen minutes each, one during the first half of the shift, and one during the second half of the shift. Such break period shall be considered work time and will be compensated as such; provided, however, that when needs of the Department so require, such employees may be required to forego such breaks when ordered to do so by their supervisor. Such employees may forego their break period(s) on any particular day and use such time to extend their meal period by fifteen minutes or one-half hour, provided that prior approval of the supervisor is obtained; and further provided, that regardless of whether a practice comes into existence of extending the lunch period, there shall be no continued right to so extend the lunch period, and the Department may at any time require that the employees take only the one-half hour period, or forego that period if deemed necessary in the sole discretion of the Department.
