RE: Alternative Work Scheduling Arrangement (Flextime)

Dear Members:

The following procedures tell you how to initiate a flextime arrangement or a change to your normal work schedule.

  1. Read Article XII, Section 79. (Always refer to your contract first.)

  2. Speak to your immediate supervisor. If she/he feels a flextime arrangement would work in your department, fill out the flextime application (available on the web) and send it to Human Resources. You may begin as soon as possible.

    If she/he (your supervisor) feels flextime will not work in your department, ask for the reason. If this reason is a good "business reason", management has the right to refuse you. If the reason is not satisfactory to you, report it to your steward.

If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 487-2303 or contact your steward.

In solidarity,



Susan Yrjana
