B. Notes/Reminders:<br />
All employees are encouraged to take a lunch break; however, during the lunch break, all<br />
employees are ―on-call‖ for emergencies. If in the event an employee is required to work<br />
during their lunch they are not permitted to leave early because the lunch break is<br />
compensated.<br />
Two (2) rest breaks of 15 minutes or less are allowable when time and circumstances<br />
permit; however, employees may not leave early in lieu of rest breaks. The rest breaks<br />
should be uninterrupted and without work tasks.<br />
If attendance is required at a meeting(s) beyond the 40 hours in a work week, the employee<br />
will be paid overtime or given compensatory time.<br />
Lunch breaks and rest breaks are not required by the Fair Labor Standards Act.<br />
See the Administrative Regulations Overtime Procedures for further details.<br />
C. Clerical Personnel:<br />
While any member of the office staff is on break, the office must be covered.<br />
The principal has the option of ―flexing‖ the work hours of office personnel so that<br />
someone is in the office before and after school. The principal defines the work schedule<br />
within the weekly 40 hours.<br />
D. Instructional Assistants<br />
Instructional assistants have no planning period.<br />

Non-exempt employees who work a 37.5 hour work week will not receive additional pay<br />
until the hours worked exceed 40 hours in a work week.<br />
B. Assistants and associates may work overtime only with prior approval of the principal.<br />
