The University supports the general concept of flexible scheduling. Flexible scheduling allows the application of innovative approaches to achieve a highly productive, harmonious work environment that is responsive to the changing professional and personal needs of today's workforce. Flexible scheduling refers to flextime and a compressed work schedule. Formal flexible scheduling arrangements as described below do not replace incidental temporary adjustments of an employee's schedule that, on occasion, arise in the workplace.
Flexible scheduling can produce a variety of benefits for both the employee and department.
Flexible scheduling of employees is not appropriate for all positions or in all campus settings. The University is an organization with diverse work environments, many of which require specific staffing patterns to function effectively. Additionally, health and safety considerations may preclude a specific flexible scheduling arrangement. Flexible scheduling is not a right of employment. It is established at the discretion of the employing unit and may be subject to change at the discretion of the unit.
