Hours of Work

Work schedules for employees vary throughout the University. Supervisors will advise employees of their individual work schedules. 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.  

Academic Year: A standard working day is 7 ½ hours. Normal office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with a one-hour unpaid lunch break. Some department's work schedules may vary in hours required, (e.g. physical plant and the library). Employees may adjust, with the approval of their supervisor, their beginning/ending time to fulfill a standard working day.

Administrative Staff (Exempt) are expected to work the normal 37.5-hour work week at minimum and be present during normal office hours as much as possible. Due to the nature of the duties of these positions, more hours may be required and are exempt from overtime.

Summer: During the summer months, beginning the Monday one week after commencement and ending the Monday one week before the fall semester begins, normal office hours will be Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with a one-hour unpaid lunch break. Supervisors may adjust work hours depending on departmental needs.
