Summer Hours will be in effect beginning Monday, June 7 for a period of 10 weeks, ending Aug. 13 in accordance with the administrative calendar. For NTPO Unit covered employees, summer hours begin Tuesday, June 1.
The college and all of its offices will remain open until 4 p.m. and certain offices that provide direct student services may remain open later. Vice Presidents may make an exception for their offices wishing to close at 3:30 p.m. Staff in all offices must be assigned schedules to ensure proper coverage.
Summer hours are a seven-hour workday with a one-half hour lunch resulting in departure from campus one hour earlier than is normal during the regular academic year. This should not result in any conflict between NTP and Classified staff as to who leaves early and who stays later. Supervisors in each office should consult with Human Resources where the potential for any such problem exists.
Physical Plant, Central Receiving and Public Safety staff will be granted 20 hours off during this period and may use these hours up until Nov. 30.
The following is provided to remind you of the record keeping requirements and procedures which were implemented in association with this employee benefit:
- Employees who enter the “Hours Worked” pay code on their time sheet, should enter 7 hours during the summer hour period. Kronos will calculate the additional .5 hours automatically.
- Eligible Classified and Non-Teaching Professional employees currently scheduled for a 5-day, 37 ½ hour work week will be required to work 35 hours per week and will reduce their lunch period from one hour to one-half hour. Bear in mind that the actual schedule for classified staff will be subject to coordination with the schedules of NTP office staff.
- Time sheets should reflect actual hours worked. During the period of Summer Hours, employees will continue to accrue sick leave and vacation leave as though they were working 37 ½ hours. Therefore, charges to these leave accrual categories must be made on the basis of a normal 37 ½ hour work week and employees must make charges to sick or vacation leave to account for a full 7 ½ hour workday. For example, if an employee works for 3 ½ hours and covers the balance of the day with leave, 4 hours must be charged.
- Charges to personal leave, flex time and compensatory time may be made to reflect the 7-hour work day in effect during the period of Summer Hours.
- Excess time for eligible classified employees will be paid at the overtime rate for work performed beyond 35 hours.
- Excess time for eligible NTP employees will be paid at the special assignment rate for work performed beyond 35 hours per week, and eligible NTP employees will be paid at the overtime rate for work performed in excess of 40 hours.
- Employees working fewer than 37 ½ hours per week (part-time), who have been appointed to temporary positions on a non-benefited basis, will continue to be paid only for hours worked.
If you have any questions, please contact HR at (518) 629-4552.
Enjoy your summer!
