Exempt employees may occasionally have a flexible work schedule with their supervisor’s permission. This may apply when employees have an increased workload requirement for an extended period or during peak timeframes. For example, if there is a student event on the weekend and they will work Friday evening through Sunday, they may be able to flex by working fewer hours earlier in the same work week with pre-approval from their supervisor. However, use of flex time should remain informal and infrequent. Hour for hour replacements are not permissible. Flex scheduling is not a legally required practice but makes good sense when considering operational requirements and work/life balance.
Having every staff member follow these procedures will provide a consistent basis for recording time off. Any questions related to timekeeping can be sent to taubmancollegehr@umich.edu.
