The City’s workweek is defined as seven consecutive day period beginning at 12:01 AM on Saturday and ending the following Friday at midnight. Law enforcement and fire protection employees may have a separately defined Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) work period.

The City Manager will approve the hours of operation for City facilities and operations. Work schedules are determined by the Department Director and established to meet the operational needs of the City. Department Directors may grant an employee the flexibility to work an alternate schedule for a specific event or for a defined period. Requests for flex time will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may be approved as long as there is no detriment to operations. 

The standard work hours for City Hall and associated City facilities are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with a 30 minute unpaid lunch period. Standard work hours for the Public Works operations are 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a 30 minute unpaid lunch period. In addition, a paid break period of 30 minutes may be authorized by the Department Director. This break period may be split into two 15 minute segments. These work periods may be modified at the discretion of the Department Director for seasonal or other work related reasons. Break periods may be taken in conjunction with the lunch period, but may not be waived and accumulated as compensatory time.

Employees of the City are expected to be at work or on authorized leave in accordance with their designated work schedules. Employees may be called to work beyond the established work schedules depending upon operational needs which may change from time to time.
