普通的兼职: 工作人员 members in this category work regular schedules of 17.5 or more hours per week—that is at least half of the normal full-time schedule of 35 hours per week.

Attendance, Punctuality, and Reporting of Absence

You are expected to be present and on time at the start of your scheduled workday. If you are unable to report to work, or are going to be late for any reason, you should notify your supervisor promptly and advise him/her of the duration of your absence. Except in the case of serious illness or injury, you are expected to call your supervisor each day you will be absent. Frequent tardiness and unscheduled absences from work will be cause for disciplinary action.  

You could require documentation from an employee for any time that exceeds 24 consecutively scheduled work hours; exceeds 3 consecutive days on which the employee was scheduled to work; or occurs after 4 unforeseeable and undocumented absences within a 3-month period.

Release Time for College-Related Activities

With the approval of your supervisor, you may be granted a reasonable amount of time off with pay to attend committee or informational meetings, 社区论坛, 培训班, and other college-sponsored events that are held during your regularly scheduled work hours.

Flexible 工作安排 

The college encourages flexibility in work schedules to help employees meet personal/family needs and thereby retain valued employees while meeting the operational needs of the college.  An alternate work schedule requested by an employee must also meet the department's needs; in essence, the employee and supervisor must develop a partnership to ensure that required work can be completed given the requested schedule change. To ensure adequate departmental staffing, once an alternate work schedule has been approved, the employee is responsible for following this schedule. Alternate work schedules may not be possible in all positions or departments, and are subject to change.

Questions regarding flexible schedules should be directed to your supervisor or department head or to the Office of 人力资源.

个人业务

Department heads and supervisors may consider requests for occasional rearrangement of work hours to accommodate personal business which must be taken care of during normal work hours. Brief absences can usually be accommodated by using personal time or vacation time. At the discretion of the department head or supervisor, an employee may also make up the time on another day during the week in which time is taken off.
