Work Schedule/Forms of Flexibility Sample Clauses

Work Schedule/Forms of Flexibility. Alternative Arrival/Departure Times The core hours for a position are typically set by the department. An employee may seek to alter their arrival or departure time on a temporary or consistent basis. This form of flexibility does not typically alter the total number of hours per week the employee works. One option under this type of flexibility is when the Department Head and employee work together to determine an agreed upon arrival and departure time which is outside the “core hours” of the job description. Alternatively, a Department Head may set a range of time during which an employee is expected to arrive. For instance, a Department Head may determine it is critical for the job functions of an employee to be working between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and may permit an employee to arrive anytime between 7:00-9:00 a.m., and work until the hours assigned for that day are complete. Compressed Schedule A compressed schedule is another form of alternative arrival/departure flexibility, wherein the total number of hours expected to work each week are conducted in less than five (5) full workdays. The most common compressed schedule is four workdays per week.
