MINNESOTA STATE RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Article 1
Purpose
The purpose of this Supplemental Agreement is to establish a voluntary flex-time program for
employees of the work units within MSRS.
Article 2
Flex-Time Schedule Request
The flex-time schedule is based on forty (40) hour work week over a two (2) week eighty (80) hour
payroll period.
Within the above prescribed parameters, the flex-time program shall allow an employee to request
modification of his/her current work schedule according to any one of the following schedules:
A. Eight (8) consecutive hours of work for each of five days in a work week.
B. Eight and one-half (8 1/2) consecutive hours of work for four (4) work days and six (6)
consecutive hours of work on any day each work week, with two (2) consecutive hours off on
the same day as the six (6) consecutive hours of work day during each forty (40) hour work
week consistent with the pay period of Wednesday through Tuesday.
C. Nine (9) consecutive hours of work for eight (8) days, one (1) day of eight (8) consecutive hours
of work, plus one (1) day off during eighty (80) hour payroll period.
Consecutive hours of work shall exclude the normal unpaid lunch period during the work week.
For employees choosing schedule "C", the "work week" is defined to begin four (4) hours into
the shift on the eight (8) hour work day and end exactly one calendar week later. Employees
choosing this schedule must take the same day of the week off that they work the eight hours
the previous week. For employees choosing schedule "A" or "B", the work week runs from
Wednesday through Tuesday.
An employee may request to change his/her flex-time schedule by providing a fourteen (14)
calendar day written notice to the immediate supervisor. Approved changes in schedule will
take place on the first day of the pay period following the fourteen (14) day notice period as
long as the change is approved by the supervisor. A supervisor may waive the fourteen (14)
day notice at the request of the employee, provided that the employee waives the right to any
overtime compensation not required by federal law.
Article 3
Review of Requests
Management retains the responsibility for denying or terminating individual flex-time schedules
where they adversely affect the operation of the unit. Flex-time must not interfere with the unit
operations during the normal office hours of Monday through Friday. Further, management may
exclude any employee or group of employees if flex-time would cause MSRS to incur additional
costs, be disruptive to the operation of the unit or result in reduced service to the public.
