The normal lunch hour during the academic year is one hour which is usually taken between 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., except during the shortened summer schedule when other rules apply.An employee may not work more than five consecutive hours without taking a lunch break. The lunch hour may not be reduced to make up for lateness, nor may it be used to leave earlier than the normal work schedule stipulates.College courses may be taken during the lunch hour between the hours of II:00 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. However, if the course exceeds one hour, the extra time taken will be charged to the members' annual leave bank.
As scheduled by the supervisor, a rest period of 15 minutes per day (coffee break) shall be maintained for employees if the workload permits. It is to be understood that failure to avail one self of the rest period does not permit the employee to leave earlier, add such time to annual leave or make up for lateness.
