One feature of librarian and archivist workload language that distinguishes it from faculty is the inclusion of specific hours of work, usually 35 or 37.5 hours per week. Hours of work language provides protection from unreasonable demands and expectations not normally faced by faculty.
There should be flexibility in when these hours of work are completed, as provided in the Bishop’s University Faculty Association agreement:
12.01 The hours of work of librarians shall be thirty-five (35) hours per week. Since the Library recognizes the policy of flexible hours, these hours shall be scheduled fairly and equitably in accordance with the needs of the job after agreement with the Assistant University Librarian.22
