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.
