<br /><br />5.2 Work Scheduling 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/Wrk%20Sched1005.htm Work Scheduling Procedures]<br /><a name="overtime"></a>

<br /><br />5.3 Overtime and Compensatory Time For Hourly Paid Employees There are two methods of calculating overtime:<br />* Overtime in excess of 40 hours * Overtime in excess of eight hours per day or 80 hours per pay period. (Use of this method must have the approval of Human Resources.)<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 or 8/80. Employee&rsquo;s agreement to work overtime constitutes an agreement to accept compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay. 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.)

<br /><br />5.4 Employees Working More Than One Job Hourly paid employees seeking additional UNMC paid positions must obtain approval of the primary department supervisor prior to accepting any other employment. In no instance will an hourly paid employee hold multiple positions where the regular FTE would exceed 1.00. Any position that would cause the FTE to exceed 1.00 must be temporary. <br /><a name="shift_differential"></a>

<br /><br />5.5 Shift Differential For Hourly Paid Employees At UNMC, regular hourly paid employees who are assigned to work at night receive additional compensation. A shift differential of ten percent (10%) of base hourly rate is to be paid to an eligible hourly paid employee whose work shift includes four or more hours outside normal UNMC hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). Shift differential is to be paid for the entire shift, not just for the four or more hours outside normal hours. Shift differential is to be paid for work shifts every day of the week, including weekends.

<br /><br />5.6 Flextime Departments may institute a schedule of flexible working hours for office/service and managerial/professional employees, provided it does not increase staffing costs or decrease departmental efficiency. Flextime allows employees to maintain a work schedule other than normal UNMC hours. Regardless of flextime scheduling, all offices must be sufficiently staffed to maintain regular operations during normal UNMC work hours described above.
