The normal hours of business for exempt staff are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., plus evening meetings as necessary. Exempt employees are required to use paid leave when on personal business or away from the office for more than fifty (50) percent of their scheduled shift. For example, if they work eight (8) hour days and work 4.25 hours they do not need to take paid leave for the remaining 3.75 hours. If they work four (4) hours, then paid leave should be used for four (4) hours. Absences of less than fifty (50%) percent of a regular shift do not require use of paid leave as it is presumed that the staff member regularly puts in work hours above and beyond the normal 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday requirement. Exempt employees must communicate their absence to the city administrator or his/her designee. If an exempt employee is regularly absent from work under this policy and it is found that there is excessive time away from work that is not justified, the situation will be handled as a performance issue. If it appears that less than forty (40) hours per week is needed to fulfill the position’s responsibilities, the position will be reviewed to determine whether a part-time position will meet the needs of the city. Additional notification and approval requirements may be adopted by the city administrator for specific situations as determined necessary.
