In the city I work for had been a Mon-Thur., 7:00 am - 6:00 pm for approximately 18 years. However, approximately three years ago, city changed their days open to Mon-Fri. However, because of our MOU's stated 10 hours work day, departments changed staffing to a staggard schedule. What I mean is half the staff worked Mon-Thurs and the other Tues-Fri. The down fall is that on Mondays and Fridays, production was poor because of the short staff for those days. Just this pasted November, the city went back to the Mon-Thurs original schedule. This schedule did not affect the recreation, special event department or the gym.

Thank you for responding.  I appreciate the feedback.

Hello, 

I work for a small fire district in Southern CA and we have our Administrative office staff (unrepresented) on flexible schedules; 4/10, 5/8 or 9/80.  If you have any questions or would like sample language from the employment contracts please reach out. 

Hi Saundra,

I work in California for Kings County HR and we just piloted during the summer and fall a 4-9 and half day schedule. We sent out surveys during both periods to employees to see how they liked the schedule and had over 90% positive feedback. As of two weeks, the schedule was adopted by the board of supervisors and is now a permanent option for employees.
