THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Lawrence

Office of
The Chancellor April 1, 1943

TO HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS:

With the inauguration of the Civil Service the hours
of work of the clerical staff require clarification. I find
that policies have varied considerably from office to office
in the past, but a uniform policy is now necessary in conformity
with the uniform pay schedules established under Civil Service.

For the clerical, stenographic, and secretarial staff
of the University, full-time will, on and after April 12, be
understood to comprise a minimum of forty-four hours a week.
This program will conform to the equivalent of the following
work hours:

200 - 12:00
100 - 5:00 Week days except Saturdays

8:00 - 12:00 Saturdays

Whenever there are two or more of the above named
workers in a Single office it is expected that the hours will
be so staggered that the office will be covered throughout the
noon hour.

It is understood, of course, that many workers already
are working, and by the very nature of their jobs must work, at
least upon occasions of peak load, considerably in excess of the
forty-four hours a week stipulated as a minimum. The forty-four
hour figure must inevitably therefore be a minimum only, with
due recognition of the fact that some jobs cannot be completed
within the framework of a forty-four hour week.

Will you please notify employees under your direction?

DEANE W. MALOTT
Chancellor
