Employees should make every effort to schedule classes in the evening, during the lunch period, and at the beginning or end of the work shift to minimize the interruption of work during the day. Employees who elect to take classes during their regular work shift must compensate for the time away from their work site on the same day the class occurs by selecting one or more of the following options:
- Option 1: Extend the work day by starting early or working beyond the normal quitting time.
- Option 2: Use the lunch period and two 15-minute breaks
- Option 3: Select annual or personal leave to compensate for time away from work to attend class.(only when supervisor does not agree to Option 1 or Option 2)
The chosen option must be agreed upon by the employee and supervisor. It is the supervisor's responsibility to monitor the employee's time away from the worksite and approve leave requests as necessary.
