For full-time employees, the University’s normal schedule is a five-day, 40-hour week.  Most UFIT employees will work this schedule with possible alternate schedules.  Where we must maintain continuous operations, additional work shifts are scheduled by your supervisor or team lead to meet this objective.

  • The normal scheduled work week for a full-time employee is Monday-Friday 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
  • Work day schedules shall be determined by your supervisor or team lead.
  • A scheduled work day for a full-time employee will typically include a meal period, and may include rest breaks.
  • Employees are expected to adhere to their specified work day schedule, report to work on time every scheduled workday, and be at their workstation ready to begin work at the start of their shift.
  • All modifications to work schedules including overtime, “make-up” or “flextime”, must be approved by your supervisor in advance.
  • All “flextime” and alternative work schedules are subject to periodic supervisory review to ensure compatibility with UFIT Operational objectives.
  • Many classifications in the USPS and TEAMS pay plans are designated exempt from FLSA overtime payment provisions. All hourly USPS and TEAMS classifications are designated as non-exempt; and as such, require that time worked be recorded on an hourly basis (Web Clock or Weekly Punch Time).
  • In compliance with Federal Law (FLSA) non-exempt employees are not permitted to work during their meal breaks, must accurately report actual time worked, and must be compensated for all hours worked.
  • 7 x 24 Operations specific guidelines:
    • Shift Leads are scheduled 07:45 to 16:15 with a 30 min meal break for first shift and similarly, 15:45 to 00:15 or 23:45 to 08:15 for second and third shift respectively.
    • Staff Operators are scheduled 08:00 to 16:00 for first shift, 16:00 to 00:00 for second shift, and 00:00 to 08:00 for third shift.
