Common use of Regular Work Hours Clause in Contracts

Regular Work Hours. The University acknowledges as a general principle that, unless mutually agreed to by the employee and their supervisor and documented in writing, work obligations should be met primarily during regular work hours (typically 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, weekdays), which may vary by position. The Union acknowledges some work obligations will fall outside of these hours, including such responsibilities as evening or weekend classes, conferences, meetings where participants are in substantially different time zones, and laboratory responsibilities that must be attended to on nights, early mornings, and weekends.
