Technical Staff Hours Sample Clauses

Technical Staff Hours. Employees working in the Engineering and Planning Division and in the Water Quality Control Division (except Water Disinfection Plant Operators) shall work an average of thirty-five (35) hours per week. The normal working day shall consist of seven (7) hours between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. While the Parties to this Agreement recognize that the Employer has the sole right to determine the hours of operation, both Parties recognize that it may be mutually beneficial to have flex-time arrangements for certain operations. Employees on flex-time schedules may propose their own work schedules choosing their own starting and finishing times, the length of their lunch period and the days in which they attend work, provided that an average of one hundred and forty (140) hours are worked in a four (4) week period, and provided that approval is received from the Employer in advance for the proposed work schedule. Once a work schedule has been approved, it may not be changed without the mutual agreement of the employee(s) and the supervisor directly affected by the schedule. When an agreed-to schedule for flex-time hours is being worked, overtime rates shall apply for hours worked over and above the normal daily scheduled hours.
