Workplace Policies Work Time and Breaks Work Hours The UHD workweek for timekeeping purposes begins on Wednesday at 12:01 a.m. and extends through a seven-day period ending at midnight the following Tuesday. The University’s normal working hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, for regular full-time staff employees. Because of the nature of services rendered, some areas may begin earlier or end later. Please see UHD policy PS 02.A.01, Policy on Working Hours, for additional information. Alternative Work Arrangements UHD endeavors to foster a work environment that maximizes productivity and flexibility for supervisors and staff. To promote general work and campus space efficiencies, the University may permit or direct employees to follow alternative work arrangements for all or part of the workweek. At the discretion of the University, employees may be allowed short- or long-term alternative work arrangements, provided they continue to serve their customers effectively and efficiently and meet established institutional and departmental goals. Alternative work arrangements are a variation in where a job is performed (remote work) or the time the work is performed (alternate schedule).
