TOTAL HOURS WORKED
- General Conditions of Full-Time Employment
Institution classified, professional, and administrative employees who are full-time are expected to work 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week. Standard working hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. However, working hours in certain departments and at certain times of the year may be scheduled in other shifts so as to meet departmental needs and/or special needs of employees and yet continue the efficient operation of the institution.
- Provisions for Professional and Administrative Employees to Teach
Institution professional and administrative employees who are approved to teach classes may do so with the following provisions:
- For payroll purposes, any classes taught during the regular work day (normally 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), except during the employee's lunch hour (normally between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.) will be considered a part of the regular work load of that employee and must be approved by the supervisor and appropriate vice presidentsof that employee.
- Classes taught outside the regular work day may be contracted as overload. These must also be approved by the supervisor, dean where appropriate, and vice president of that employee. These classes will be limited to a maximum of eight contact hours per week averaged over the academic year.
- For payroll purposes, any classes taught during the regular work day (normally 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), except during the employee's lunch hour (normally between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.) will be considered a part of the regular work load of that employee and must be approved by the supervisor and appropriate vice presidentsof that employee.
- Meal and Rest Periods
Classified employees are allowed a meal period of not less than 30 minutes nor longer than 1 hour not later than 5 hours after the beginning of the employee's work day. Meal periods are taken without pay and are not included when calculating total hours worked.
Classified employees are allowed a 10-minute rest period for each 4 hours worked. Generally, this period is taken at the mid-point of each 4-hour shift; however, employees are not to work over 2 1/2 consecutive hours without a rest period being made available to them.
Rest periods are taken with pay. Therefore, if classified employees elect not to take rest periods, the time may not be accumulated so as to allow them to report to work late, take extended meal periods, nor leave work early.
