The
“9/80” schedule
An employee can also work a “9/80”
schedule consisting of four 9-hour days for two
consecutive weeks plus eight hours on one day of one
week. This allows an additional day off every other
week. The examples show an employee taking the scheduled
day off midweek or near the weekend. The challenge with
this issue for non-exempt staff is that it creates two
weeks of unequal hours: 36 hours (four roughly 9-hour
days) and 44 (five roughly 9-hour days). This creates 4
hours of automatic overtime in the longer week, an
outcome most employers do not want to allow. A solution
used by many companies is to change the official start
of the workweek from Saturday or Sunday to noon on
Friday, thus evening out the weeks.
