Professional Hours/Workday
< Back
Normal Hours of Work
Teachers are professional employees as defined by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and the Wisconsin Municipal Employee Relations Act, Wis. Stat. § 111.70(1)(l). Although professionals’ work is not limited to any specified number of hours or days per week, the “normal” hours of work for full-time employees in positions authorized as “40 hours per week” are considered to be a minimum of eight (8) hours per day Monday through Friday, including a duty-free thirty (30) minute lunch period. The actual workday for each building shall be established by the Board or designee.
Professional Hours
Teachers are responsible for the completion of their duties as set forth in the teacher job description and those other duties specific to each teacher’s position.
Professional work hours are governed by the following:
-
The on-site starting and ending times for employees are determined by the Board. The normal work day will be eight (8) hours.
-
Teachers are required to attend administratively called meetings and school sponsored events.
Flexible Time: employees may be provided the opportunity to participate in an alternative work schedule that modifies the beginning and ending time of the employee’s work day. The minimum hours worked for the day will remain the same, but the beginning and ending times may be different than that of the set building schedule.
Employees may also have the opportunity, on an infrequent basis, to flex their daily work schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. In both instances, building administrative approval is required.
