28.4 | For those employees assigned a five (5) day workweek, the workday shall normally consist of eight (8) hours. The workweek for such employees shall normally be Monday through Friday, inclusive. |
28.5 | For those employees assigned a four (4) day workweek, the workday shall normally consist of ten (10) hours. |
28.6 | For those employees assigned a 9/80 work schedule, a schedule shall consist of nine (9) hour shifts on four (4) consecutive days during each calendar week plus an additional eight (8) hour shift every other week. In calendar weeks in which the employee works the eight (8) hour shift, the eight hour shift shall be worked on (1) the day following the fourth consecutive nine hour workday or (2) on the day prior to the four (4) consecutive nine (9) hour workdays. The President shall designate that the workweek period begins at the midpoint of the bi-weekly eight (8) hour day so that the first four (4) hours of the eight (8) hour shift shall fall within one (1) workweek, and the last four (4) hours of the eight (8) hour shift shall fall within the next workweek. Accordingly, each workweek shall consist of forty (40) hours. An employee shall not be entitled to overtime pay unless the employee works in excess of the foregoing schedule. The two possible schedules are: Schedule A – Employee works a 9/80 schedule which consists of working nine hour shifts each Monday through Thursday. Employee works every other Friday for 8 hours. Schedule B – Employee works a 9/80 schedule which consists of working nine (9) hour shifts Tuesday through Friday. Employee works every other Monday for eight (8) hours.
