Work Schedules

The normal work schedule for all employees is 8 hours a day, 5 days a week beginning at 8am and ending at 5pm. Supervisors will advise employees of the times their schedules begin and end if different than the normal stated operational hours of business. 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.

Sales, Buying, and Transportation schedules may include Saturdays as business needs.

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.
