They expect full time commitment, but no one check in on you. They are understanding of early dismissal and later starts. Life happens.

There are 2 statuses: Exempt and non-exempt. One has a 40 hour limit, then overtime if needed, and the other has no set hourly limit and you get paid your flat salary no matter how many hours you work. Most of the exempt positions (work however many hours) are in research or research support positions where you may be in the middle of an experiment or you may need to come in because, for example, there was a surprise review of some records that you need to be available for to provide any documentation needed, etc. But most non-faculty and admin jobs are 40 hrs.

Very flexible, however don't take advantage. They are very strict about punctuality and attendance. If you plan ahead of time, adhere to proper protocol and have the availabilty of PTO in your bank, most supervisors will approve when time off is needed. If you prefer a different shift/days, seniority is a factor as well as the department, but transfers can be applied and bid on, yearly.
