If a part-time schedule is not appropriate for the employee's current position, job sharing may be feasible. For more information, employees should contact their personnel office. Although the job sharing arrangement adds an extra dimension, job sharers are part-time employees and are treated as such. Gross pay is computed by multiplying the employee's hourly rate by the number of hours worked during the pay period. Non-overtime hours above those normally scheduled are paid at the basic rate.
Annual leave is earned based on the number of hours worked per pay period.
All part-time and job sharing employees earn 1 hour of sick leave for each 20 hours worked and are also eligible for other kinds of leave. If a holiday falls on a day the employee normally works, the employee is paid for the number of hours he or she was scheduled to work. Part-time employees who are job sharing may apply and be considered as a team, but each must be among the best qualified in order for the team to be selected. An employee may apply individually and as a member of a job sharing team. To meet the needs of the office or the employee, an agency may temporarily or permanently change the hours of a part-time employee.
