Work Modalities and Work Schedules Sample Clauses

Work Modalities and Work Schedules. A work modality is a designation for each full- and part-time staff position, based on operational needs and job duties, that indicates whether that position delivers services exclusively on campus or is eligible for a form of remote work. A work schedule is defined as the Employee’s assigned work hours, including starting and ending times each day, the days of the week on which the Employee works, and the location (e.g., on campus or remotely) from which the Employee works. Employees shall receive information identifying their work modality and work schedule. For those Employees who have a regular work schedule, Management shall provide at least two (2) weeks’ notice before modifying a modality or regular work schedule. Employees may request changes in their work schedules, modalities, and/or campus work location, and such requests will be evaluated based on University need, the operational requirements of the department or unit, and job functions. The University agrees that it will not deny such requests for arbitrary or capricious reasons and will respond in writing when it denies an Employee’s written request for such change. The University’s standard work schedule for full-time staff Employees includes working 7 hours a day, a total of 35 hours per week, with 1 unpaid hour for lunch. Part-time Employees shall receive breaks consistent with departmental practice(s) in place at the time this Agreement was ratified. Except where inconsistent with this Agreement, the University’s Schedule and Work Modality Policy, which may be amended from time to time, will be applicable to bargaining unit Employees.
