Study Notes

Non-exempt employees who work more than 37.5 hours in a week can accumulate compensatory time, but it must be used within the pay period and with prior approval from the Library Director.
Employees must take a lunch break of at least 30 minutes if they work 6 hours or more in a day, which is unpaid and on their own time. They may use the staff lounge or leave the building. A 15-minute break is given for every 3.5 hours worked and is on Library time.
Employees are expected to clock in and out for their shifts, breaks, and absences, except for breaks under 30 minutes which are paid.
Excused absences must be reported to the manager at least 1 hour before the shift start time and can be due to illness, approved vacation, or other reasons. Employees may be required to provide documentation for lengthy absences.
Unexcused absences include reporting late for a shift or missing a shift without prior approval from the manager. Part-time staff can exceed their 45 hours of unpaid sick time and cannot substitute unpaid vacation time for unpaid sick time.
Excused tardiness means contacting the manager before the shift start time, while unexcused tardiness refers to not contacting the manager and clocking in more than 5 minutes late.
A no call/no show occurs when an employee does not report for a scheduled shift and does not alert the manager. Two no call/no shows in a row result in termination.
