WORK SCHEDULES
Most administrative offices are open Monday through Friday from 8:30
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and most administrative staff members have one hour
off for lunch. Administrative staff positions, however, typically
involve uneven demands that, depending on the types of services a
department provides or supports, can impose a varying annual, weekly, or
daily work schedule or can require unscheduled hours of work.
Most administrative staff positions are exempt from federal overtime
regulations. A few positions, however, are eligible for overtime
compensation based on the tasks, training, and accountability required
of the position. Federal regulations require that administrative
staff members in these few non-exempt positions record their hours and
be paid time-and-a-half for hours worked in excess of 40 per week.
Any payment of overtime must be authorized before the overtime work is
performed.
An administrative staff member who is unable to report for work as
scheduled must notify his or her supervisor or a specified department
staff member as soon as possible.
Wesleyan University encourages flexible scheduling during the summer.
Departments may authorize administrative staff members to start work
earlier, take shorter lunches, or make other arrangements to end the
workday or workweek earlier.
