4.605 Staff Time Schedules

    WORK SCHEDULES
    Lakeway Christian Schools expects all employees to adhere to their assigned work schedules to ensure smooth operation and support of the school’s educational mission. Each employee’s schedule is determined by their supervisor based on school needs and job responsibilities.
    Employees are expected to arrive on time, work their full scheduled hours, and notify their supervisor promptly of any anticipated absences or delays. Adjustments to schedules may be made with prior approval.
    Faculty and staff are also expected to attend required meetings, professional development sessions, and a minimum of three extracurricular events or activities each school year as part of their professional responsibilities.

    WORKWEEK DEFINED
    Working hours for all employees not exempted under the Fair Labor Standards Act, including administrative assistant, bus drivers, cafeteria, custodians, will conform to federal and state regulations. The Executive Director will ensure that job positions are classified as exempt or non-exempt and that employees are made aware of such classifications. Supervisors will make every effort to avoid circumstances which will require non-exempt employees to work more than forty (40) hours each week. For purposes of compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, the workweek for school district employees will be 12:00 a.m. Monday until 11:59 p.m. Sunday. 

    OVERTIME
    Overtime (hourly, non-exempt employees): Occasionally, an excessive volume of work accumulates, or an emergency arises which requires a non- exempt employee to work overtime. Overtime will be required only when necessary, but employees are expected to work overtime when asked to do so. Non-exempt employees are not to work overtime without prior permission of their immediate supervisor. 

    ATTENDANCE
    All employees are expected to be present during all work hours. Absence without prior approval, chronic absences, habitual tardiness or abuses of designated working hours are all considered neglect of duty and will result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. 

    INCLEMENT WEATHER
    When school convenes late or dismisses early due to inclement weather or other emergency conditions, employees shall be required to report as directed by the administration to ensure the safety and well-being of students.
