Reduced Work Schedule Program Sample Clauses
The Reduced Work Schedule Program clause establishes the terms under which employees may temporarily work fewer hours than their standard schedule. Typically, this clause outlines eligibility criteria, the process for requesting a reduced schedule, and how compensation, benefits, and job responsibilities are adjusted during the period of reduced work. For example, an employee might request to work 60% of their usual hours for a set period due to personal or family needs. The core function of this clause is to provide flexibility for employees while ensuring that both the employer and employee understand the implications for pay, benefits, and job status, thereby supporting work-life balance and operational planning.

Both the teacher and the District will make full STRS contributions, and the teacher will be treated by STRS the same as if employed full time. (See Board Policy 4117.11.)
