a – Workweek-Workday Clause Samples

a – Workweek-Workday. Unless specified herein, the workweek and workday for employees in this bargaining unit shall be Friday through Thursday, not including Sunday unless mutually agreed, between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Starting times shall be determined by the Employer between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., depending on business need. Start times that have been set by the Employer may be changed if a request is received from an employee for a different start time, but only if the requested start time doesn’t negatively impact customer service requirements or business needs of the employer. The workweek of a regular full-time employee shall be forty (40) hours normally worked on five (5) consecutive workdays. Examples of options for a 40-hour workweek are as follows: (1) 5-eight hour days. (2) 5-eight hour days with up to a 3 hour break at mid-day. (3) 4-nine hour days and a 4 hour day. The workweek schedule shall be determined by the Employer. All customer service requirements and business needs must be met. Subject to mutual agreement by both the employee and the Employer, either party may request to have an employee, or employees, work longer days on one day of the workweek (Friday through Thursday) and then work a shorter day in the same workweek to get the regular hours of work completed, if all customer service requirements and business needs are met. The maximum number of hours worked in any one day under this provision would be eleven (11) hours, and can only be worked between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Example: Work 11 hours on Wednesday and 5 hours on Thursday; or 5 hours on Wednesday and 11 hours on Thursday, not 11 hours on Thursday and 5 hours on the following Friday, which would make the following first workweek more than 40 hours and cause overtime. This provision must have mutual agreement of both the employee(s) and the Employer. Employee requests to work a flexible schedule, for both business and personal reasons, shall be considered and not unreasonably denied. If such a request is denied, the Employer shall provide a written explanation within five (5) working days of receiving the request. The approval or denial will be based on employer business needs.
