Occasionally, hours are adjusted to meet the needs of a particular office or department. Lunch breaks will be scheduled by the supervisor and may be staggered so that offices are staffed during the day. In addition to an unpaid lunch break, employees generally will be allowed two 15-minute breaks during the day. This time, however, cannot be added to the lunch time or subtracted from the working day. During all hours for which employees are paid, they will work only on College projects.
Examples are holidays, vacation days, and sick days.
The Fair Labor Standards Act does not allow employees to accumulate compensatory time, and it is expected that such compensatory time shall be taken by the end of the pay period. All overtime and compensatory hours must have the prior approval of the appropriate supervisor. The College is committed to enhancing job satisfaction by creating a cooperative and productive work environment for all employees. In turn, all Haverford employees must meet certain performance expectations, including timely and regular attendance, dependable application of time while at work, and satisfactory completion of all duties. Supervisors are responsible for helping employees maintain high levels of performance and meet these expectations.
