College
Working Hours
The College has established the hours between 8:00 a.m. and
5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, as the "standard" 40-hour work week. All
offices will be staffed during this time.
The employee is expected to notify his/her immediate
supervisor in a timely manner of any situation which prevents or delays prompt arrival for
work. Unauthorized absence may result in disciplinary action.
All employees are expected to commence work at the
scheduled time and to continue working throughout the allotted period of hours. Changes in
work schedules must be approved in advance through the appropriate supervisor.
The College has the right to make and/or change work
assignments, to establish and modify job classifications, and to establish and amend work
rules and work loads. All full-time hourly employees of the College are expected to work a
regular 40-hour week unless otherwise directed. Contracted employees are expected to
complete the duties and obligations of their position; which may necessitate exceeding 40
hours a week. (back to top)
Breaks
and Lunch Hours
Dodge City Community College does not have officially
scheduled breaks. Two 15-minute breaks may be authorized each day by the supervisor. This
is a privilege that should not be abused by extending the periods beyond 15 minutes. The
normal lunch period is one hour in length. This time is scheduled by the supervisor and
coordinated with work schedules of other employees. (back

Overtime
Pay and Compensatory Time for Full-time Classified Employees
The President, or designee, must authorize all overtime
worked in advance. Several days in advance of the overtime being incurred, requests for
approval of overtime should be submitted, in writing or e-mail, to the President of the
College. If the overtime can not be anticipated, the Supervisor should obtain telephone
approval from the President or his designee.
Whenever possible, compensatory time should be utilized in
lieu of paying overtime. The employee must agree to accept compensatory time in advance of
working overtime. Supervisors cannot force or in any way coerce employees to accept
compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay. The Supervisor can, however, refuse to grant
permission for the employee to work overtime if the employee will not accept compensatory
time. Overtime and compensatory time is earned at 1.5 hours for each hour of overtime
worked.
Employees who terminate employment will be eligible to
receive payment for earned un-used compensatory time.
Overtime and compensatory time must be recorded on the
employee's time sheet and a Absence/Travel Expense Report form, approved by the
supervisor, must be attached to the time sheet when earned compensatory time is used. (back to top)
Overtime
and Compensatory Time for Part-Time Classified Employees:
Requests for part-time employees to work overtime is
discouraged. However, if necessary and if approved by the President in advance, provisions
for granting overtime pay and compensatory time to part-time employees are the same as for
full-time employees. (back to top)
