Adjunct faculty are responsible for completing \u201cflex\u201d hours for every semester worked.\n2. Flex activity shall not overlap with any accountable hours during the regular school term or special assignment for which the faculty member is regularly compensated. An employee may obtain flex credit for on-campus presentation and/or staff development workshops provided these activities are in addition to his or her on-campus work obligations.\n3. The procedures for approval of flex hours are delineated in the Flex Manual. The Staff Development Committee shall form a separate committee of faculty known as the Flex Committee tasked with the review of Flex Completion Forms.\n4. Every academic year, each faculty member shall submit a Flex Completion Form to the Office of Staff Development by May 15th of that same academic year of the year. The Flex Completion Form shall then be reviewed by the Flex Committee. The Flex Completion Form shall indicate which types of qualifying activities the faculty member already completed, the number of hours for each \u201cflex\u201d activity, and verification of these claims. The Flex Completion Form shall also indicate any planned flex activities to be completed and verified between May 15th and June 30th. A minimum of 50% of the hours submitted by contract faculty must be directly related to the faculty member\u2019s assigned work areas.\n5. By May 25th, each faculty member for whom the Office of Staff Development did not receive a Flex Completion Form on or before the May 15 deadline shall be notified and given until June 30th to submit their completed form to the Office of Staff Development. However, Flex Completion Forms submitted between May 15 and June 30 may not be modified or amended to address any shortcomings identified during the Flex Committee review. Those faculty members who do not submit their completed flex forms by June 30th will be considered to have not fulfilled their flex obligation hours.\n6. By June 15th each faculty member that submitted a Flex Completion Form by the May 15th deadline shall receive notification from the Flex Committee only if additional work or verification (includes planned flex activities) is required. Each of these faculty members shall be provided an opportunity to address and submit verification for any identified shortcomings until June 30th of that year. However, faculty members submitting these late verification materials forego the opportunity for the Flex Committee to immediately verify the completion of activities. Therefore, verification of Flex activities occurring between May 15th and June 30th may not occur until the Flex Committee next meets in September. Additional activities and verifications will not be accepted after June 30th. For those faculty members who submitted their Flex Completion Form by the May 15th deadline and received a notification from the Flex Committee by June 15th, the flex obligation shall be deemed complete for that academic year.\n7. The Flex Committee shall review all late verifications forms and inform the faculty member of their Flex status by September 30 of the new academic year. If, in the opinion of the Flex Committee, a faculty member has not submitted verification of having completed qualifying \u201cflex\u201d activities for their required number of hours, the District may commence the process leading to the deduction of a pro-rated amount of one week of that faculty member\u2019s salary.\n8. Amounts needing to be repaid by faculty not successfully fulfilling their flex obligation shall be deducted on the faculty member\u2019s next available pay check.

If an employee needs to be away from the district for a portion of a regular work day not to exceed 3 hours and they wish to make up the time in the same work week, they must coordinate with their immediate Superintendent or Manager to make arrangements for the use of flex hours at an approved time during the same work week. Use of flex hours will be approved or denied based on operational needs. Any make-up flex hours in excess of the normal work shift will be paid at straight time.\u200c", "samples": [{"hash": "djng7MQQvhU", "uri": "/contracts/djng7MQQvhU#flex-hours", "label": "Memorandum of Understanding", "score": 24.5441850509, "published": true}], "hash": "af994da72f6830f0734eb7ec06b7bad8", "id": 9}, {"snippet_links": [{"key": "the-employer-shall", "type": "clause", "offset": [0, 18]}, {"key": "grant-employees", "type": "clause", "offset": [19, 34]}, {"key": "beginning-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [53, 65]}, {"key": "each-calendar-year", "type": "definition", "offset": [66, 84]}, {"key": "based-on", "type": "clause", "offset": [85, 93]}, {"key": "an-employee", "type": "clause", "offset": [111, 122]}, {"key": "subject-to-operational-requirements", "type": "clause", "offset": [223, 258]}], "size": 1, "snippet": "The Employer shall grant employees flex hours at the beginning of each calendar year based on the table below.
