The City and the Union agree that the availability of alternate/flexible work schedules is a valuable <br />benefit to workers in that they promote job satisfaction while also reducing traffic congestion and air <br />pollution. The use of alternate/flexible schedules is encouraged where it can be accommodated <br />without impairing departmental operations or service to the public. <br /> <br />D. The City may authorize an alternate work schedule (other than five eight-hour days) or a flexible <br />schedule (various work start and end times within a scheduled work shift) requested by a worker or <br />workgroup based on the operating needs of the specific department or work unit. <br /> <br />E.

Workers in departments affected by the closure may use <br />Vacation, Compensatory Time Off, and Administrative Leave, Personal Business Leave or unpaid <br />leave on the closure days. Any worker who desires to work on a closure day will be permitted to do <br />so unless the employee’s supervisor cannot identify appropriate work, location and supervision. <br />The City will notify the Union of a City department closure by June 1st. <br /> <br />F.
