Work Hours

(Governor's Policy Directive #5)

A governor's policy directive requires all state offices to be open for business between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. However, department administrators may establish other working hours, so long as all full-time employees work a 40-hour work week. At the university, work hours for most full-time employees are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with one-half hour for lunch. Some departments require different work schedules. Most university offices are kept open until 5:00 and do not close for lunch, so flexing of schedules may be required. Your department head or supervisor will inform you about normal work hours for your department and for your individual position.
