HOURS OF WORK #185 <br /> <br />The City requires flexibility to schedule people when needed. We accommodate individual needs as <br />possible, while still meeting the needs of the organization. However, it may be necessary to ask staff to <br />work at times other than their regular scheduled shifts. <br /> <br />DEFINITIONS <br />Hours of Operation – The city’s regular hours of operation are Monday through Friday, from 8 <br />a.m. to 4:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Authorized Hours – The number of hours an employee was hired to work. Actual hours worked <br />during any given pay period may be different than authorized hours, depending on workload <br />demands or other factors, and upon approval of the employee’s supervisor. <br /> <br />Workweek – A workweek is seven consecutive 24-hour periods. For most employees, the <br />workweek will run from Saturday through the following Friday. With the approval of the city <br />administrator, departments may establish a different workweek based on coverage and service <br />delivery needs (e.g., fire departments, park and recreationpublic works departments). <br /> <br />WORK HOURS <br />Employee work schedules and opportunities to work remotely will be established by supervisors with the <br />approval of the city administrator. The regular workweek for most employees is five eight -hour days in <br />addition to a lunch period, Monday through Friday, except as otherwise approved by the city <br />administrator in accordance with the customs and needs of the individual departments. <br /> <br />Part-time, seasonal, and temporary positions: In order toTo comply with the law while avoiding penalties, <br />part-time employees will be scheduled with business needs and in a manner that ensures positions retain <br />part-time status as intended.
