Employees whose work cannot be completed during other-than-standard business hours are not viable candidates for the FlexTime program. The nature of an employee's work must be conducive to the arrangement, without causing disruption to the department's overall performance or quality/timeliness of service delivery. Regardless of whether the FlexTime request originates from an employee or a supervisor, both of them in partnership with the Office of Human Resources (OHR), will evaluate the suitability of such an arrangement.

The Catholic University of America FlexTime program is a pre-approved, scheduled arrangement that allows eligible employees to adjust the scheduled hours when they are working for the University, regardless of location, under the guidelines described below.Įmployees requesting FlexTime arrangements may be full- or part-time status who have been employed with the University for a minimum of six months of continuous, regular employment in good standing. They are accountable to manage multiple FlexTime arrangements among their teams while supporting expected service levels. Supervisors are required to prioritize mission and tasks over accommodating FlexTime requests.

An example of FlexTime is an employee choosing to start work at 6:00 AM to be able to leave earlier, while another member of the same team may choose a 10:00 AM start time and work until later in the day. It may also allow the meal break itself to be taken at the end/beginning of the day so that the employee may leave at an earlier time. FlexTime provides options in adjusting the start and end of the work day, and/or meal times, typically with a designated core period during which all staff members are present or working. Although not its primary purpose, Flextime is a Flexible Work Arrangement option for positions that may not easily support Work From Home.Įmployees provide the same level of effort as they would under a usual schedule.
