Summer Alternative Workweek Program 2009
President Meservey has authorized the implementation of an alternative workweek program during the summer of 2009. Beginning Sunday, May 31, 2009, and continuing through Saturday, August 1, 2009, many employees of the college will have the option of completing their entire weekly tour of duty in a compressed four and one half day schedule rather than the typical five-day schedule.
During this period, the college will operate with a skeleton staff on Friday of each week starting at noon. Administrative departments will be required to be open for business until 5 pm, staffing for each department may be at minimal levels as determined by the respective department supervisor and approved by the area head. Academic departments will need appropriate coverage to be determined by the Deans.
Participation in this program is strictly voluntary and only at the request of the respective individual employees. While we encourage as many departments as possible to participate in this program, there are some departments that may not be able to participate due to the nature of the service provided by that department. Only full-time benefited employees are eligible to participate in this program.
If you are interested in participating in this program and you are a librarian or a member of the classified staff, please complete the attached form and return it to your immediate supervisor by April 24, 2009. Administrators (APA & exempt) should follow the normal procedure for flexible scheduling. Immediate supervisors should forward the interest forms from their department to the area head by May 1, 2009. The area head must return the forms to Human Resources by May 8, 2009. If you do not want to participate, do not turn in a form.
This year July 4 falls on Saturday and will be observed on Friday, July 3. The workweek beginning June 28th WILL NOT be part of the alternative workweek program. Employees will follow their normal schedule of 7½ hours per day 37 ½ hours (or 40 hours for Unit II classified staff) for the week of June 28, 2009.
Leave charges: vacation, sick, personal, floating holiday and unpaid leave will be charged according to the number of hours taken. For Example: If you are a clerical employee who is scheduled to work an 8.5 hour day and you want to take that day off using your floating holiday, then you must request both floating holiday (7.5 hours) and vacation leave (1 hour) to cover the 8.5 hour workday.
Specific questions regarding program participation and scheduling are to be referred to your immediate supervisor or area head.
