Summer hours schedule starts June 20th

Shoreline Community College will adjust to summer public operating hours starting Monday, June 20^th through Friday, September 2^nd.

Starting on June 20th, the official college hours of business will be 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Thursday. On Fridays, the hours will be 8 a.m. to Noon. The campus will close at Noon on Fridays for public and student services. On September 5th following the Labor Day holiday, the campus will return to the regular schedule, which is 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 8 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. on Friday.

“This adjustment will allow the college to continue to serve our students and communities while also allowing our terrific employees an opportunity to balance their work and their lives outside of the College,” President Cheryl Roberts said.

To maintain a 40-hour work week, the schedule for most employees will be “four nine-hour days and a one four-hour day,” said Stephen Smith, Vice President for Human Resources and Legal Affairs. “The summer schedule will allow most employees to work nine hours each day, Monday through Thursday, four hours on Friday and then be off for the weekend,” he said. He also noted that for the week of July 4^th, a Monday holiday this year, full-time Classified employees will need to work 32 hours Tuesday through Friday at Noon of that week. Employees should confirm an appropriate schedule for their position with their supervisor before May 20, 2016.

Smith noted that some departments, such as the Parent-Child Center, Safety and Security, and Facilities will continue with their regular academic year schedules based on business needs. For all other areas of the college prior to June 20th, employees and supervisors will work together to finalize summer schedules that ensure department needs are fully met with adequate staff coverage during the official business hours of the College and that alternative schedules don’t create additional costs.

“We want employees to enjoy the opportunity for our schedule flexibility when practical,” Smith said. “We also share responsibilities to fulfill our shared mission by ensuring college services are available, accessible, and meeting the needs of our current and future students.”
