What is an irregular work schedule?

Some agencies require irregular or flexible schedules due to business needs.

• Supervisors may adjust start/end times or workdays with approval from the appointing authority.
• Flex time and compressed work weeks are also allowed with approval.
• Any schedule totaling more than 37.5 hours per week must be approved by the Commissioners of Human Resources and Finance & Administration.

Employees must return to a regular schedule when:

• Using extended annual, sick, or compensatory leave
• On extended leave without pay
• Receiving pay through the Sick Leave Bank
