Modifications of the FLSA Work Week.

All employees on the “9/80” work schedule are subject to <br />being called to work any time to meet any and all emergencies or unusual <br />conditions that, in the opinion of the City Manager, Department Head, or <br />designee, may require such service from any of said employees. <br /> 9/80 Schedule Hardship Claims.

The manager <br />may recommend one of the following: <br />A. Approve an appropriate flex schedule that does not disrupt the department’s ability <br />to deliver its services or that does not create disruption in the work unit; or <br />B. Deny the employee’s proposed solution to resolve the hardship; or <br />C. Reassign the employee to a 5/40 work schedule. <br />The Department Head may accept any one of the manager’s recommendations or <br />advance their own to resolve the hardship. <br />D.
