608.02: Work Schedules, Duty Days, and Holidays

ESCC operates at least forty (40) hours per week.  The President determines work schedules and work days for all employees of the institution.

1.     Employees shall be allowed the following official holidays on which days the institution shall be closed: New Year's· Day, Martin Luther King, National Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.

2.     The President shall designate, in the approved institutional calendar, five other days on which the institution will be closed.

3.     The normal work week for full-time, non-instructional personnel is at least forty (40) hours, exclusive of lunch. Days that the institution is officially open are duty days for full time, non-instructional employees.

4.     The normal work week of a full-time instructor, librarian, or counselor shall be a minimum of thirty-five (35) clock hours, exclusive of lunch and other regularly scheduled breaks. This does not mean that each instructor is required to be on duty seven hours per day, but each instructor is to have a regular schedule of instruction, office hours, advising, planning, and institutional duties.

5.     Full-time instructors, librarians, and counselors (whether on an academic-year, twelve-month, or summer contract) shall work the number of instructional and non-instructional days as indicated by the college.
