The standard workweek for employees subject to the Personnel Act is 40 hours per week. The normal daily work schedule is five days per week, eight hours a day plus a meal period. Other schedules apply to part-time employees and some shift employees; agencies are responsible for determining the appropriate schedules for these employees. Because of the nature of the various state activities, some positions require a workweek other than five days. The normal daily work schedule may not apply to educational, hospital and similar institutions with schedules geared to round-the-clock service.
