FAQs: Converting from 40 Hour Workweek to 37.5 Hour Workweek
Q. How will the 37.5-hour work week affect my current work schedule? A. All employees will work from 8:30-5:00pm, or the approved equivalent of a 7.5 hour workday. The only exceptions are Boiler Plant and Public Safety employees.
Q. Will my salary be affected? A. No. Your salary is calculated at a rate of 40 hours a week and it will remain calculated at that rate.
Q: Does my lunch hour change? A: No, you will still be allowed an hour for lunch; however, lunch breaks may be modified if approved by your supervisor.
Q. Will I still earn/use annual leave based on the 8 hour work day? A. No. Time will now be based on a 7.5-hour work schedule. Annual leave will be earned per month based on your service time (see chart on last page) and taken based on a 7.5 hour day.
Q: Will I still earn/use sick leave based on the 8 hour work day? A: No. Time will now be based on a 7.5-hour work schedule. Sick leave will be earned per month in 9.375 hour per month increments and taken based on a 7.5 hour day.
Q. How does this affect my overtime pay? As a non-exempt employee who clocks-in to work, will I now earn overtime after 37.5 hours? A. No, as a non-exempt employee your overtime payment will not be adjusted. You will still only receive overtime after working over 40 hours. Any hours worked over 40 hours will be paid at the usual time-and-a-half rate. The only exception to this rule are non-exempt employees in Physical Plant who are called back to work for emergency services.
Q. If I want to retain my current 40 hour work schedule, can I choose to do so? A. No. Participation is not optional. Boiler Plant and Public Safety employees are the only exception.
Q: Will I lose annual and sick leave balance hours? A: No, your current balance will be transferred over with no reduction taken. However, you will not be allowed to take more than 30 days of annual leave. The only exception made will be for situations stated in current policy and special approval from the HR Director. (See HR Regulations 19-709.03C and S.C. Code Ann. 8-11-610).
Q: Am I still going to be able to carry over 360 hours of annual leave at the end of the calendar year? A: No. The new maximum annual leave balance will be 337.5 hours. If you are over this balance at the end of this year, you will be able to donate or lose the hours that go above 337.5, just as you do now with those that go over 360 hours.
Q: What will be the maximum number of FMLA hours available? A: The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees a total of 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during a 12 month period for a variety of medical reasons. When the Citadel's typical workweek was 40 hours a week, eligible employees could take up to 480 hours of FMLA leave. However, now that the typical workweek is 37.5 hours, eligible employees may take up to 450 hours of FMLA leave.
Q: What will be the maximum number of Family Sick Hours available? A: 10 family sick days are allowed each calendar year. Therefore, under the 37.5 hour workweek, employees will be allowed 75 hours (10 days) for family sick leave per calendar year.
Q: Will this change affect my annual leave payout if I terminate or retire from the Citadel? A: No, your annual leave payout is not affected. Your current annual leave hours will be converted to a new equitable rate (see example below). For all eligible employees, you will be paid out at the same rate regardless of the change in the workweek.
Example: An employee making $30,000 is ready to retire and is eligible for the maximum payout of 45 days of annual leave. They would receive the same annual leave payout based on each workweek schedule:
At the 37.5 hour workweek ? $30,000 divided by 1950 (average annual hours worked) is then multiplied by 337.5 hours (max annual leave days) = $5,192
At a 40 hour workweek agency ? $30,000 divided by 2080 (average annual hours worked) then multiplied by 360 hours (max annual leave days) = $5,192
Q: How will my monthly leave accrual or rate of earnings change? A: Below are two charts depicting your annual leave earnings at 37.5 hours and at 40 hours per week. You will accrue fewer hours working 37.5 hours per week, but will be required to take fewer hours to have a full workday off.
