RULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
This amendment is in response to Governor Herbert's announcement that the 4-10s work schedule will be the ongoing standard work schedule for the State. The effective date for the 4-10s to become the standard work schedule is 02/06/2010. Once the effective date passes, all subsequent holidays will accrue at a maximum of nine hours.
Summary of the rule or change:
In order to prevent confusion, the phrase "not to exceed ten hours" in Subsection R477-7-2(2) will be amended to "not to exceed nine hours."
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
- Section 63G-1-301
- Section 67-19-6
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
The amendment is administrative and no state budget impact is anticipated.
local governments:
No local budget impact anticipated.
small businesses:
No small business impact anticipated.
persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:
No other impact anticipated.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
No compliance cost is anticipated.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
Rules published by the Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) have no direct effect on businesses or any entity outside state government. DHRM has authority to write rules only to the extent allowed by the Utah Personnel Management Act, Title 67, Chapter 19. This act limits the provisions of career service and these rules to employees of the executive branch of state government. The only possible impact may be a very slight, indirect effect if an agency passes costs or savings on to business through fees. However, it is anticipated that the minimal costs associated with these changes will be absorbed by agency budgets and will have no effect on business.
