Clerical & Support Staff Guidelines under FLSA
The coordinators discussed Clerical & Support Staff guidelines and agreed on the following for library employees:
- If you know you want to flex your schedule, you can do that in advance with approval of your supervisor
- Working anything beyond 37.5 hours per week is at the request of your supervisor. You cannot choose to work extra time and then get paid for it.
- Adjustments to a schedule can be made within the current week only.
- You cannot request to make up more than three hours within the same week for medical appointments and other specific one-time situations.
- If you do this more than two weeks in a row, you need to talk to your supervisor about making an official change of schedule.
- The over-arching rule is that any adjustments to a person’s schedule must be signed off in advance by your supervisor.
- C & S are not allowed to work a compressed week.
