4.9. Hours of Work


4.9.1 Coffee Breaks

4.9.2 Workload Lull or Cessation

Under state law, all full–time classified employees are required to work 40 hours per week. Specific time of duty may vary in certain departments because of the nature of the work involved. Some departments have established shifts of duty for employees. Office schedule for most employees is from 8 a.m. through 4:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, with one–half hour for lunch, plus a rest period or coffee break in the morning and in the afternoon not to exceed 15 minutes each.

Each supervisor will explain what hours to work, lunch or supper periods, according to departmental schedules.

4.9.1 Coffee Breaks

Whenever possible during the workday, two 15–minute breaks are permitted. This privilege should not be abused; that is, these breaks should not exceed 15 minutes each. It is to be understood that if the employee elects to substitute a one–hour lunch break in lieu of the half–hour lunch and two 15–minute breaks, no coffee breaks are allowed.

4.9.2 Workload Lull or Cessation

Employees who experience a slack period in work should, if possible, offer assistance in comparable areas of job performance where rush work is occurring. Employees may notify Personnel Services of these periods so that assignments can be made. An attitude of cooperation lends to a more harmonious and more efficient total organization. The appointing authority may direct an employee to work temporarily in areas other than that to which he or she is assigned.
