Purpose

To operationalize Valley City State University’s policy 611.16 Flexible Scheduling (Flex Time-Staff).   

Procedure

1. Flexible schedules must be approved by the employee’s supervisor.
2. A trial period for flexible scheduling may be granted for up to one month, with a review among those involved to determine whether the flexible schedule is to continue.
3. If the regular flexible schedule is to continue, the supervisor shall submit a written plan signed by both parties to the Director for Human Resources.
4. Periodically employees may be required to adjust their flexible scheduling hours to attend meetings outside of the individual’s work hours or to cover for another employee’s absence.
5. The department will review the flexible schedule on a regular basis and at least once a year submit the schedule to the Director for Human Resources. 
6. Since flexible scheduling is neither a universal employee right nor a universal employee benefit, the schedule may be altered to meet the needs of the University.
7. Flexible scheduling issues must be first addressed between the employee and supervisor. If further review is needed, employees should follow the process outline in the NDUS Human Resources 28 Grievance Procedures policy.
