UTSA maintains 8-to-5 schedule for summer

To provide essential services during the summer, all university offices must be open, fully functional and staffed during regular business hours, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday. Department supervisors may approve "flex" schedules for employees with approval from their dean, vice provost or vice president and as long as all offices are sufficiently staffed and fully operational during regular business hours. For more information regarding flexible work schedules, refer to Chapter 4.29 of the Handbook of Operating Procedures or contact Human Resources at 458-7891.

 

Take an online survey on UTSA compliance
