Taking Classes During Work Hours. Subject to prior approval of the employee’s immediate supervisor, employees shall be allowed to take Xxxx classes that are job related during their normal work hours if said classes are not offered after the employee’s normal work hours. Employees who are allowed to take job-related classes during their normal work hours will be allowed to make up such hours missed during the same work week at the regular rate of pay when such hours are scheduled by the employee’s immediate supervisor.
Taking Classes During Work Hours. With the approval of the appropriate supervisor, permanent, full-time employees who meet the academic requirements of the University may register for up to eight (8) semester hours, of which no more than one (1) course of no more than five (5) semester hours of credit may be taken during the basic work hours, and providing the course is available only during such hours. It is understood that the appropriate supervisor will approve such requests to register for classes during work hours; provided the employee's absence does not substantially interfere with the University's operations or encumber other employees. Time lost in taking a course shall be made up at some mutually agreeable time between the employees and their supervisors, or charged against the employees' accumulated vacation time. Permanent part-time employees may take courses, tuition free, at the same percentage as their appointment. When it is in the best interest of the University, the Director, Human Resources, may require or authorize employees to take a course(s) during work hours without loss of pay and without making up the time spent in class.
