Common use of Four Day Work Week Clause in Contracts

Four Day Work Week. In lieu of the normal work week as defined in Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Article, an employee may request a work week composed of four (4) consecutive days of relatively equal length, followed by three (3) consecutive days off, or reasonable variations thereof. If the agency determines its own needs may appropriately be met by such requested schedule, it may request approval of any such schedule under Personnel Rule 303.300. Nothing herein precludes the parties from negotiating four (4) day work week schedules in Agency or Local Supplementary Agreements. The negotiation of nine (9) day work schedules shall be appropriate for agency and/or local supplementary negotiations in those instances where supplemental agreements contain such provisions. In other instances the parties may by mutual agreement negotiate nine (9) day work schedules in agency and/or local supplementary agreements.
