In order for a staff member to apply for an alternative work plan, they must complete an alternative work requirement form in which the employee must indicate what his alternative schedule will be for each day of the week (including the lunch break). [Note: It doesn`t matter if an employee wants to work two or twelve hours on a given day – they must indicate an hourly break per day.] Staff requirements need to change at least two weeks before the date they wish to start the alternative work plan. When an employee asks for an alternative work plan, he wants to work on a schedule that .m from the standard planning of 7:45 a.m .m. – 4:30 p.m. Requests are most frequent from staff who want to work ten hours a day, four days a week. However, regardless of the proposed schedule, the total number of hours must be forty per week or eighty per salary period (depending on whether or not the worker is exempt for FLSA purposes). The application for an alternative work plan must be completed and signed by all parties (staff members, supervisors and the invested authority of the board of directors). The Chief of Staff assigned to the staff department reviews the employee`s level of pay, the proposed alternative schedule, the bargaining unit, the current overtime category and defines the new category of overtime and the daily hours limit. If approved, an email will be sent to DHR HRIS. The approved form for alternative work plans is then forwarded to VSEA for verification. It is then up to the staff administrator to insert the employee`s records into HCM and inform the employee that his alternative work plan has been approved.
