Main Campus Operating Hours Policy

State Technical College of Missouri normal operating hours are:

• Fall and Spring Semester: 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday
• Summer Semester: 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday -Thursday, 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. Friday

During operating hours all offices are to remain open. During the fall and spring semesters, individual staff may flex their hours, with supervisor approval, within the week understanding every office must be open every day from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., including lunch. Faculty need to be available during normal operating hours, as required. The Activity Center and Library will continue to operate normal published hours. Academic Affairs will refrain from scheduling classes before normal operating hours (8 a.m.), unless necessary.

The summer operating hours will begin the week after graduation and will end two weeks prior to the start of the fall semester. All 12-month contract staff must work 40 hours each week during all fall, spring, and summer semesters. Holiday leave is only 8 hours, so If an employee is following the Summer Flex Work Schedule, additional leave time on holidays will be required to meet the 40-hour week requirement.

On designated workdays when the College is closed to the public, employees are expected to work standard hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., unless otherwise directed by their supervisor. Examples of such days include, but are not limited to, the Employee Academic Year Welcome at the beginning of the fall semester and scheduled Professional Development days.

Required workdays are workdays when all full-time employees of State Tech and the Osage View are required to be at work. Any absence on a required workday must be approved by the employee’s supervisor and Vice President of their department or program. Required workdays may fall outside of the normal operating hours and are published on the institutional calendar. Required workdays outside normal operating hours include but are not limited to Show-Me State Tech (Open House) events.
