Summer Hours Begins May 13

​Beginning May 13, KCC will be switching to a summer hour work schedule. Full time staff will be allowed to work a compressed work week by working a four day, (normally Mon-Thurs) 10-hour schedule.  Or, in response to many of your requests, staff could work a four day, 8-hour or 9-hour schedule totaling 32 or 36 hours of work for the week without having to use vacation time.  Of course, one's pay would be paid accordingly.  

Another option available this year is to use your Illinois Paid Leave for All Workers Act (IPLFAWA) time (up to 40 hours in a 12-month period coming out of your available sick time).  Please discuss this with your immediate supervisor for approval if any of these last two options are of interest to you, as well as what hours you are requesting to work this summer. 

The 10-hour day could begin as early as 6:30 am, and end at 10 pm. Here are some examples of a 10-hour workday:

* 6:30 am - 4:30 pm

* 7:00 am - 5:00 pm

* 7:30 am - 5:30 pm

* 8:00 am - 6:00 pm

* 8:30 am - 6:30 pm 

Full time staff will NOT need to punch in and out, nor account for lunch - KCC is GIFTING you the time so that your 10-hour day includes a paid 30-minute lunch period during the summer work schedule.

The college will be closed on Fridays from May 17-July 26, except for May 31, June 21, and July 5 due to Memorial Day, Juneteenth, and Independence Day holidays. Those weeks the college will be closed on Monday - May 27, Wednesday - June 19, and Thursday - July 4 to observe the holidays and employees will be scheduled to work 8-hr days the other (4) days of the work week.  Full time staff will still be paid their 30-minute lunch period during these three weeks.
