Work Schedules: Difference between revisions

It is the policy of the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) that all employees work according to established work schedules for the purpose of maintaining continuity in the administration of UNMC and in delivering UNMC&rsquo;s products and services. For All Employees The normal workweek standard for full-time employees is 40 hours. Part-time employees will be pro-rated according to the established full-time equivalent (FTE). Management reserves the right to adjust the starting and ending times for each shift to meet current needs. In times of severe weather, natural or other disasters, essential personnel may be required to remain on campus for extended periods of time. Employees must notify their supervisor as soon as possible if they are unable to report to work. Specific notification periods and rules are established by departments consistent with the business needs of that department. If an employee fails to report to work and fails to notify the supervisor for three consecutive work days, it will be assumed that the employee has abandoned his/her job. This will result in termination for cause. [http://www.unmc.edu/hr/Proc/Procedures1005.pdf Work Scheduling Procedures]<br />

All non-exempt, hourly paid employees (including part-time employees working more than 40 hours in one work-week) will receive overtime compensation. This may be in the form of overtime pay or compensatory time, both granted at one and one-half hours for every hour worked above 40. Business units are responsible for administering and communicating the use of compensatory time and overtime within their specific work areas. Employees may not accumulate more than 60 hours of compensatory time and they must be paid for any hours in excess of that total. (Note: 40 hours of overtime worked converts to 60 hours of compensatory time.)
