Workday & Work Week. The normal work day and work week for permanent employees shall be a five (5) day, forty (40) hour week or its equivalent. The normal hours of work for permanent employees are Monday through Friday, from 8:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M. Lunch periods shall be scheduled for all employees and are typically one (1) hour, but may be modified by mutual consent. Employees shall not be paid for lunch periods. Regularly scheduled meal periods may be counted as time worked when the nature of the work prevents relief from all duties; i.e. emergency repairs or emergency response. Application of this rule only applies to field maintenance crews and must be approved by the crew members’ supervisor. The City, may, with two weeks’ notice, adjust work hours by one hour at the beginning and end of the work day without mutual consent. Therefore, the work day may begin at 7:00 a.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. or begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 6:00 p.m. for certain groups and/or individuals. The work week may include Saturday. This provision does not apply to classes previously in the Maintenance Bargaining Unit as noted on Exhibit A with an asterisk. The following shift schedules shall apply to such former Maintenance Bargaining Unit employees: They shall not be scheduled to work a shift in which the regular starting and ending times deviate more than two (2) hours during the same work week. Park crews will be shifted on a seasonal basis with notice. All personnel working at the Waste Water Treatment Plant are assigned to work four (4), ten (10) hour shifts per week as assigned by the Waste Water Treatment Plant Manager. There are three shifts, as follows: Shift #1 will begin Thursday and run through Sunday. Shift #2 will begin Tuesday and run through Friday. Shift #3 will begin Monday and run through Thursday. Alternatively, WWTP employees may request to work a 5/8 work week. This may be approved by the WWTP Manager as long as the 4/10 schedule is still available to other WWTP employees. An additional exception are employees in the class of Recreation/Community Programs Coordinator who work as scheduled by the Parks and Community Services Department to meet recreation program needs, Neighborhood Outreach Coordinator and Neighborhood Outreach Assistant who work as scheduled by the Neighborhood Revitalization Department to meet neighborhood outreach needs, and Animal Control Officer and Fire Prevention Officer, who's shift shall vary depending upon need. Except in the case of an emergency, or as mutually agreed, changes in the designated work schedule shall be provided to such employees at least ten work days in advance of a change. Flex (alternate) schedule for this negotiating group is acceptable per department head approval. This schedule pertains only to any earlier/later starting time (a.m.), a shorter lunch break, and an earlier/later departure time (p.m.).
