Adjusted Work Schedule for Professional Staff

Professional staff members are "exempt" from the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA); associate staff members are "nonexempt" (covered by FLSA - http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/flsa/). Professional staff are exempt from overtime pay requirements; and in response to the normal requirements of their job position and peak business needs, are expected to work the hours and schedules necessary to fulfill job requirements. Professional staff may receive an adjusted work schedule only under extenuating circumstances. Professional employees may not accrue adjusted work schedules for attending professional development/conferences/workshops. The adjusted work schedule must be approved in advance and be authorized by the Executive Director and Assistant Superintendent and approved by the Deputy Superintendent.

All adjusted work schedules for professional staff shall be used within a 30 day work period and a Request for Approval of Adjusted Work Schedule Form must be submitted to the supervisor for prior approval.
