ELEKproTEK Work Hours & Scheduling Policy
1. Purpose
With the transition to a salary-based structure, ELEKproTEK aims to implement a flexible, productivity-driven work schedule that ensures work-life balance, accommodates customer demand (including weekends), and maintains a 40-hour workweek.
This policy provides guidance on standard work hours, flexible scheduling, weekend work rotations, and on-call duties for salaried employees, with apprentices assigned to every rotating weekend shift alongside other technicians.
2. Flexible 40-Hour Workweek Structure
ELEKproTEK operates 24/7 services, meaning work schedules must adapt to customer demand. Employees will have flexible shifts while ensuring a 40-hour workweek.
2.1 Work Hours by Role (Flexible Schedules)
| Role | Standard Schedule (Flexible) | On-Call/Extended Hours |

| Foreman / Lead Technician | Monday–Friday (8 AM – 5 PM) | On-call for escalations but not part of weekend rotation |
| Senior Technician | 4–5 days/week (includes rotating weekends) | Yes, scheduled rotation |
| Technician / Journeyman | 4–5 days/week (includes rotating weekends) | Yes, scheduled rotation |
| Apprentice (Field Work) | 4–5 days/week (assigned to all rotating weekends) | Yes, scheduled rotation |
2.2 Flexible Workweek Options
Employees will not work more than 40 hours per week, but shifts may be adjusted to accommodate customer requests. Example flexible shifts:
- Monday–Thursday (10-hour shifts) → Off Friday–Sunday

6. Adjustments & Exceptions
