DPA Alternate Work Week Policy
Purpose
The alternate work week schedule (AWWS) allows employees and supervisors to mutually agree upon a varied distribution of their normal work hours. It does not change the number of hours worked, but simply allows each individual the flexibility to rearrange their work schedule to better meet their personal needs while considering the needs of the office.
The major benefits of the AWWS are:
1. Improved employee morale and job satisfaction;
2. Extended hours of service to the public and other State agencies;
3. Decreased short-term absenteeism for medical and miscellaneous personal appointments; and
4. Increased employee usage of carpools and public transportation.
