14 WORKING AT FREDERICK COMMUNITY COLLEGE At FCC, we strive to work together as a College community. We seek to be consistent and transparent in College practices. College Policies and Procedures The current policies and procedures of Frederick Community College can be found at http://www.frederick.edu/jobs-hr/policies-and-procedures.aspx. The Employee Handbook provides the official conditions of employment for all employees at Frederick Community College. All College employees are required to read and adhere to the Employee Handbook and all College policies and procedures. The Employee Handbook is supported by state and federal labor laws. The Employee Handbook is Board of Trustees approved and is reviewed and revised on an annual basis. Work Hours Schedules for Non-exempt Employees. For regular full-time non-exempt employees, the normal workweek is five (5) consecutive days of eight (8) hours per day with one (1) hour of unpaid break for a total of thirty-five (35) paid hours per week, as established by the employee’s supervisor. Preapproval by the supervisor is required for short-term deviations from regularly scheduled hours. Additional Hours for Non-exempt Employees. All non-exempt employees should accomplish the necessary workload within their regular workweek. Non-exempt employees are not permitted to work additional hours without prior authorization by the supervisor. Additional hours shall not be approved except in exceptional circumstances or significant operational need. Senior Leader preapproval is required when there is a need for substantial additional hours within a given workweek or when the need for additional hours will be ongoing for an extended period of time. In these instances, supervisors are required to obtain approval from the appropriate Senior Leader who, upon approval, will seek approval from the Vice President for Finance for any additional compensation beyond the 35-hour workweek prior to final authorization of additional hours. Once authorized, additional work hours may be compensated as regular hours, overtime, or compensatory time. Failure to obtain preapproval to work additional hours is a violation of College policy and will be addressed through the Employee Misconduct Policy. Breaks for Non-exempt Employees. Full-time non-exempt employees must take break(s) that total one (1) full unpaid hour during the day, scheduled by their supervisor. For regular part-time non-exempt employees, hours and unpaid breaks are established by their supervisors. For PTVS employees, hours and unpaid breaks are established by their supervisors and based on work demands. Breaks should be scheduled with the goal of providing the least possible disruption to College operations.
