Summer 2022 Flextime Dress-Down Policy
Summer Flextime - Flextime is a work concept that divides the day into segments of core time, when all employees are expected to be at work and flexible time, usually at the beginning and end of the day. A weekly schedule of 35 hours must be maintained (37.5 hours for Facilities and Public Safety employees). This schedule will include, on Fridays, the hours of closing.
The core time is 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. All employees must be at work during this period. Flexible hours are from 8:00 am to 9:00 am and 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
Flextime is completely voluntary; employees may choose to remain with a standard summer schedule of 8:30 am to 4:30 pm with a one-hour lunch. In addition, certain departments will have schedules that vary from hours described below or have particular needs that may, in some instances, be addressed outside this policy.
Time Period:
Rider's summer flextime schedule will commence on the Monday following commencement, May 16, 2022, and run through August 19, 2022.
Key Aspects:
Department heads should meet with staff before the effective dates of this policy to discuss the policy including:
- Time sheets, where applicable, should accurately reflect hours worked.
- A lunchtime of at least 30 minutes must be taken each day.
- The base period of the standard workday is 7 hours.
- Hours worked in excess of the weekly base period of 35 hours (37.5 hours for Facilities and Public Safety employees) are paid as overtime for all office employees considered non-exempt under FLSA.
- Schedules must be coordinated within working units so that department coverage continues to be provided for the entire business period of 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
- Flextime work schedules require supervisory approval.
- Part-time employees are not affected by this policy.
Dress-Down:
Members of the campus community will be able to dress down everyday during the flextime period. While casual attire is appropriate, informal leisure clothing such as T-shirts, tank or halter tops and shorts will not be permitted. Questions on appropriateness will be decided by supervisors and Human Resources. Please remember that off-campus business commitments or more formal on-campus meetings will require regular business attire.
