Specific time of duty may vary in certain departments because of the nature of the work involved. Some departments have established shifts of duty for employees. Office schedule for most employees is from 8 a.m. through 4:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, with one\u2013half hour for lunch, plus a rest period or coffee break in the morning and in the afternoon not to exceed 15 minutes each.<\/p>\n<p>Each supervisor will explain what hours to work, lunch or supper periods, according to departmental schedules.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"4.9.1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>4.9.1 Coffee Breaks<\/h3>\n<p>Whenever possible during the workday, two 15\u2013minute breaks are permitted. This privilege should not be abused; that is, these breaks should not exceed 15 minutes each. It is to be understood that if the employee elects to substitute a one\u2013hour lunch break in lieu of the half\u2013hour lunch and two 15\u2013minute breaks, no coffee breaks are allowed.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"4.9.2\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>4.9.2 Workload Lull or Cessation<\/h3>\n<p>Employees who experience a slack period in work should, if possible, offer assistance in comparable areas of job performance where rush work is occurring. Employees may notify Personnel Services of these periods so that assignments can be made. An attitude of cooperation lends to a more harmonious and more efficient total organization. The appointing authority may direct an employee to work temporarily in areas other than that to which he or she is assigned.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>Changes to Section of Manual<\/h5>\n<table class=\"table-defaults table-lines-vertical table-lines-horizontal table-header-red table-border-black\" style=\"width: 644px;height: 52px\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th width=\"22%\">Section<\/th>\n<th width=\"22%\">Effective Date<\/th>\n<th width=\"20%\">Origin<\/th>\n<th width=\"22%\">Change Form<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">N\/A<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4.9.1 Coffee Breaks 4.9.2 Workload Lull or Cessation Under state law, all full\u2013time classified employees are required to work 40 hours per week.
