We work for a county government in California, and are trying to implement a flexible schedule, we currently work a 2 week/80 hour pay period. We are trying to go to what is a called a 9/80 schedule. This involves working one week of 4 - 9 hour shifts and 1 - 8 hour shift and the 2nd week of 4-9 hour shifts.
therefore we work 44 hours one week and 36 hours the next, to add up to the 80 hours we are supposed to work during our pay period.
There has been much dicussion about getting overtime, (which NONE of us want) for the 44 hour week. We would prefer to just "flex" the time so we can have one extra day off every other week.
What are the laws that govern this ? Any ideas on what we need to do to get around this?
