AFSCME Contract - MMB Home - Minnesota Management & Budget

Should an employee be on paid or unpaid leave from work on a day they are scheduled to work,
the time changed to the paid leave or taken as unpaid leave shall be for the total hours (or fraction
thereof) they would have otherwise been in attendance at work that day.
Section 5. Hours of Work. The execution of this Agreement amends Section 2, Subdivision B.1.
(Work Day) and Subdivision B.2. (Work Week/Period) of Article 5 of the Master Agreement so as to
recognize the legitimacy of work days other than eight (8) or ten (10) consecutive hours.
It is agreed that no additional paid rest period shall be provided to an employee working on a
flextime schedule.
Section 6. Appeals. An employee may appeal in writing the decision of the immediate supervisor
to deny or revoke a flextime schedule to the Unit Manager who shall respond in writing within
seven (7) days. If not resolved at that level, the decision may be appealed in writing to the
Assistant or Deputy Commissioner, as appropriate, who shall respond in writing. The decision of
the Assistant or Deputy Commissioner is final and shall not be subject to Article 17 of the Master
Agreement unless the action giving rise to the appeal is a violation of a specific provision of that
Agreement.
Duration. Should problems occur with this Agreement after its effective implementation date, the
parties agree to meet and confer in an effort to resolve the issues. If they meet and confer and
cannot resolve the issues, the Department of Labor and Industry reserves the right to terminate the
flextime program with fourteen (14) calendar days written notice to the Union.
