The normal work week is 40 hours, although your week may vary depending on your position and responsibilities. Work schedules for individual employees are determined by their department.  Flexible work schedules may be adopted by the department to accommodate departmental needs.

 

The MSU work week begins at 12:01 a.m. Sunday and ends at 12:00 midnight the following Saturday.

 

Most employees work an 8- hour day, with one unpaid hour for lunch. (The University provides unpaid meal periods of at least thirty minutes to one hour for all employees.)

 

Non-exempt Employees: Departments may allow a 15-minute paid rest period each 4-hour work period, but are not required to do so.
