         Subject:  Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Exempt Employee
                   Work Policy for Employees Excluded from Collective Bargaining



         The Department of Personnel Administration (DPA) recently issued a Personnel
         Management Liaison Memorandum (94-08) announcing proposed restructuring of
         most of the State's Work Week Groups (WWG).  Included in this document was
         the FLSA Exempt Employee Work Policy (copy enclosed).

         Pursuant to an agreement between the California State Employees Association
         (CSEA) and the State, this policy  applies to all Work Week Group 4C and 4D7
         employees in CSEA Bargaining Units 1, 3, 11, 20, and 21, and is effective
         January 24, 1994.

         In addition, the same policy will be retroactively applied to all WWG 4C
         employees excluded from collective bargaining, effective January 24, 1994.
         You will note that one component of this policy is a prohibition against
         charging absences of less than a whole day to leave credits or dock.
         Departments should, therefore, review the leave usage records for excluded
         4C employees and make the appropriate adjustments retroactive to January 24,
         1994.  Furthermore, effective immediately, departments should discontinue
         any practices that require these employees to submit time sheets indicating
         daily hours worked.

         Should you have questions concerning any of the above, please call one of
         the DPA Labor Relations Officers at (916) 324-0477, CALNET 454-0477.
