Earlier this week the Civil Service Commission issued guidelines and FAQ’s for state employees following the Governor’s Executive Order responding to COVID-19. While most of the guidance pertains to State employees the Civil Service Commission did note that all employers may implement flextime programs, alternative workweek programs, and adjusted daily or shift offers without prior approval of the Civil Service Commission. Prior to implementing a new program or modification of an existing program, employers must notify the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations.
If you are a Civil Service municipality, we suggest you review this guidance with your labor attorney and administrator.
