Working Hours and Employee Attendance

Non-Exempt hourly employees must clock in and out using the Paylocity payroll system at the beginning and end of each workday and for lunch.

Noon Mass may be attended without timing/punching out.

Regular working hours for most non-faculty, full-time staff employees are from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with up to one hour for lunch, Monday through Friday (40-hour work week). 

Summer hours may differ as determined by the President but will not exceed 40 hours for full-time hourly non-exempt employees. The nature of work in some departments necessitates arranging special work schedules for some employees. Where necessary, special work hours will be assigned on an as needed basis by the department. 
Employees may work summer flex hours during a week with supervisor approval and the stipulation that there is department coverage and at least one employee in the department during the Donnelly business hours of 8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday with overlap of employees during those hours.
 
When unexpected circumstances occur, which prevent an employee from being at work on time, the employee must notify his/her supervisor prior to the employee's starting time or within a reasonable time thereafter in the event of an emergency. If direct contact cannot be made with the supervisor, a message should be delivered to the supervisor either through voicemail or email in a reasonable and timely manner. Employees who fail to adhere to this tardiness policy above will be charged PTO time or, if there is no unused PTO, a deduction of pay. Employees with an unexcused absence from work are subject to disciplinary action. Donnelly College is an “at will” employer and because tardiness results in hours not worked or work shifted to another employee, repeated tardiness can subject an employee to termination.
