q <br />MEMORANDUM <br />Memo To :Mayor and Council Members <br />From :Ric Minetor, Acting Clerk -Administrator <br />Date :October 10, 1990 <br />Subject :Office Hours <br />I have met with the City Hall staff (not including the Police <br />Department) regarding office hours. As you may recall, the <br />current office hours are not in conformance with federal fair <br />labor law. We currently schedule an employee for 9 hour days <br />Monday through Thursday, and 8 hours every other .Friday. This <br />results in one week of 44 hours and one week of 36 hours. Fair <br />labor law requires over time or compensatory time at 1.5 times <br />the hours worked in excess of 40 hours each week. The following <br />alternatives were discussed with the employees. <br />The employees preferred a schedule of 9 hours a day, Monday <br />through Thursday and 8 hours on Friday; the second week would be <br />8.5 hours a day, Monday through Thursday with Friday off. This <br />would be 44 hours one week and 34 hours the following week. The <br />compensatory time would be 2 hours for the first week. The total <br />hours for the pay period would therefore be 78 work hours and 2 <br />premium hours. <br />The sei:ullil choice Gf ui2 u <br />employees was a schedule of 8 hours <br />Monday through Friday one week and 10 hours Monday through <br />Thursday the following week. This wouldallow every other Friday <br />off and also achieve 80 hours per pay period <br />Other possible schedules were discussed, but not supported by <br />the staff affected. These other options include: <br />A) The current schedule for Monday through Thursday, but <br />half days on Friday. This would require closing City <br />Hall at noon on Friday, this was not popular with the <br />staff as they felt residents would not accept these <br />hours. <br />B) Work schedules of 10 hours per day, 4 days per week. <br />This would either require closing City Hall on Friday <br />or having half the staff work Monday -Thursday and the <br />other half work Tuesday -Friday. Having half the staff 2 <br />out of 5 days does not provide adequate coverage. <br />C) The final schedule Discussed was returning to 8 hour <br />days. The staff did .;ot like this option as they enjoy <br />
