The regular workweek for full-time employees consists of at least 35 hours.  Daily and weekly schedules may be changed from time to time by administration to meet the changing needs of the organization.  Creative Concepts for Living reserves the right to change schedules for any reason permitted by law.  Any such changes are announced as far in advance as possible.  Employees can be notified of his/her new schedule by his/her supervisor and will be expected to follow the given schedule immediately; every effort is made to give the employee two weeks’ notice.  Failure to follow a given schedule will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Time must be accurately reported on an agency provided recording document.  No employee will work more than 18 hours in a 24 period hour without the approval from a supervisor. Failure to get approval may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Staff members are responsible for managing their own time and being aware of the number of hours and locations they are agreeing to work.

Employees are not scheduled to receive time off for meal breaks during his/her shift.  If an employee requires a break during his/her shift, they need to contact his/her supervisor, prior to the beginning of his/her shift to arrange for coverage during his/her break.  Although they are not automatically granted, all efforts will be made to accommodate any such requests.  Employees will be required to clock out during any such break times and will not be compensated during break periods.

Employees may not leave shift until they have been properly relieved from another employee.

In order to provide protective oversight, there may be times, due to relief issues, that it would be mandatory for employees to work beyond his/her normal work schedule.  No employee may leave shift without being properly relieved by another employee.

Hourly employees who are working during a daylight savings clock change will be paid based on the hours of actual awake time and not his/her schedule and clock in as the normal procedure.

The nature of Creative Concepts for Living’s business will, from time to time require that staff members attend meetings outside of normal schedule and/or normal work site.  When such sessions occur during normal working hours or extend beyond normal working hours, no special provisions are made. Full-time employees are expected to attend mandatory meetings.  If an employee fails to attend a scheduled mandatory meeting they will receive an absence.  Employees will be given a minimum 48 hours notice of the meeting date and time.  An employee may not be able to return to work until you meet with your supervisor after missing a house meeting
