Hourly employees may make up time they are absent from the job in lieu of using vacation or personal time, or having their pay reduced for the period of absence. Time must be made up within the week that the absence occurred. Time may be made up by working extra time before or after the standard workday hours. Standard workday hours do not include weekends or holidays unless those days are part of the employee’s normal work schedule. Working through a lunch period is not permitted for make-up time.
Except in unexpected emergencies, an employee must first obtain approval to use the make-up time option. The means to obtain approval will be directed per department based on unique department needs in staffing and work scheduling.
