Section 5-238 - Hours of work in Executive Department.

The Commissioner of Administrative Services shall adopt regulations, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54, for establishing and maintaining uniform and equitable hours of work required of all employees in the Executive Department, which regulations shall be approved by the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management. The number of hours any employee shall be required to be on duty each day or in any week or month shall be uniform for all whose positions are allocated to the same class unless specifically otherwise provided by action of the commissioner and recorded in his office, together with the reason for each such exception, but the hours for different classes may be different. A copy of such regulations, when issued, shall be furnished to each department, agency or institution for the guidance of appointing authorities and their employees. Where work requirements cannot be met by the establishment of regular work schedules, the commissioner may designate positions or classes as unscheduled, provided, over a period of not more than eight weeks, no employee serving in a position designated as unscheduled shall average more than five workdays and thirty-five hours per week per period.
