Work Schedules

Work schedules for employees vary throughout our Cooperative. Supervisors will advise employees of their individual work schedules. Staffing needs and operational demands may necessitate variations in starting and ending times, as well as variations in the total hours that may be scheduled each day and week.

Flexible scheduling, or flextime, is available in some cases to allow employees to vary their starting and ending times each day within established limits. Flextime may be possible if a mutually workable schedule can be negotiated with the supervisor involved. However, such issues as staffing needs, the employee's performance, and the nature of the job will be considered before approval of flextime. Employees should consult their supervisor to request participation in the flextime program. Flexible scheduling is a privilege which should not be misused or abused. Employees must be certain that they work their full schedule, and not work over without prior permission. If the practice becomes too difficult to monitor, then it may be eliminated.
