Chapter 5 - STANDARDS OF EMPLOYEE CONDUCT
Section 27-120-5.1 - EMPOYEE WORK SCHEDULES
State law requires that all State offices be available to the public for services from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
MSPB defines a normal work schedule as eight hours per day, forty hours per week, 173.929 hours per month and 2,087 hours per year.
Each part-time employee will be provided a schedule of working hours.
To provide for maximum flexibility in scheduling employees, the appointing authority may develop modified work schedules providing for flextime, compressed, or telework. "Flextime" is a schedule which offers agency management a choice to vary employee arrival and departure times from work. A "compressed work schedule" allows agency management to schedule the general forty-hour workweek requirement in less than the usual five workdays per week. Telework means a work flexibility arrangement under which an employee performs duties, responsibilities, or other authorized activities from an approved worksite other than the location from which the employee would otherwise work.
