Tier2-5: Condensed Work Week

In addition to standard and summer work schedules, alternative work arrangements are available with departmental approval. The alternative work arrangement should support the business operations and not interfere with the needs of the department. The following are examples of alternative work patterns: • Flex time -The number of hours worked daily remains constant, but shifts are predetermined, with start and finish times staggered at 15 or 30 minute intervals. This arrangement is with supervisory discretion and approval. • Job sharing -The division of responsibilities and labor of a single full-time position between two or more employees, each working less than full-time may be considered job sharing. The employees may perform all elements of the work or divide the tasks. Employees may alternate days, weeks, or may split days. Individual benefits are based on the number of hours worked. • Compressed work week -Work weeks are scheduled such that full-time employees work longer hours but fewer days per week. A typical example is 4, 10-hour days per week.
