6 <br /> ARTICLE II <br /> 3.0 LIMITATION OF EMPLOYMENT OF RELATIVES: <br /> The employment by Orange County of members of the same <br /> immediate family within the same program area or major office <br /> agency at the same time is to be avoided. This policy applies <br /> to promotion, demotion, transfers, reinstatement and new <br /> appointments; permanent or temporary. <br /> ARTICLE III <br /> 1 .3 Full-time employees normally work five (5) eight (8) hour <br /> days per week. Department Heads may elect to establish <br /> for his/her employees a flexible work schedule to consist <br /> of a pre-determined schedule of nine consecutive hours <br /> between 7 :30am and 6:00pm, with one hour lunch break each <br /> day, Monday through Friday. The first consideration in <br /> establishing a work schedule and in permitting any <br /> variation from it is providing adequate staffing to <br /> maintain county office hours of 8am to 5pm and the needs <br /> of the work unit. Consistent with that need, <br /> consideration should also be given to the needs and <br /> preferences of the employee. With the approval of the <br /> Department Head a schedule will be established for each <br /> employee which provides for a 40 hour workweek. <br /> 4.6 Upon returning to work., the employee will be reinstated <br /> to the previous position (if still available) or any <br /> position in the County of similar classification, <br /> seniority, and pay. <br /> ARTICLE IV <br /> 6.1 Sick leave with pay may be granted to an employee for <br /> absences due to physical or mental illness or injury which <br /> prevents an employee from performing the usual duties. <br />
