FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§105.009 – Alternative Work Schedules
Officials from the Office of Administration – Division of Purchasing (OA) assume this
proposal specifies if a state holiday falls on a state employee's regularly scheduled ten-hour
workday, the employee shall not be required to use annual leave to make up the difference
between the eight hours of credited holiday and the employee's regularly scheduled ten-hour day.
OA notes that RSMo, 1 CSR 5.010(2)(G) states, “(G) For purposes of these rules, a holiday is
considered as a period of eight (8) hours.
OA assumes this proposal indicates employees cannot be mandated to use annual leave for the 2
extra hours. It does not say that it’s not allowed. Based upon OA’s interpretation:
1. Employees could request annual leave, comp time, or leave without pay for the 2-hour
difference.
2. Or OA’s Appointing Authority (AA)/Commissioner can determine if the extra 2 hours
will be compensated under 1 CSR 20-5.020(8)(B)5, which states “5. Because of
extraordinary reasons sufficient in the opinion of the appointing authority to warrant such
time off with compensation”.
If option 1. is followed, there is no cost. If option 2. is followed, the cost would vary depending
on upon OA’s AA/Commissioner approving the number of OA employees allowed to work a
compressed 4-day work week composed of 10-hour days. The cost of this option would consider
the number of employees working the compressed work week, the number of holidays defined in
law and granted by executive order, and these employees’ calculated hourly rate multiplied times
2 hours (for the number of hours that exceed the 8-hour holiday period).
Based on the language proposed, the Office of Administration, Division of Personnel, concludes
that the fiscal impact will be $0 to unknown.
Officials from the Office of Administration – Division of Accounting (OA) state per section
105.009, there would be a potential fiscal impact, however, because OA has no way to determine
if or when an employee would use vacation time, the fiscal impact is indeterminable.
OA states it is unclear as to whether the proposed language in 105.009.2 is construed to allow the
employees the right to receive time off with compensation (administrative leave) for the
additional two hours of pay for those that work (4)-10 hour days during a holiday period.
It is our assumption, based upon the language in 105.940, an employer can still exercise the
discretion to require the employee to use accumulated compensatory time or allow the employee
to request to leave without pay in accordance with 1 CSR 20-5.020. L.R. No. 0214H.02C
Bill No. HCS for HB 337

It is also our assumption that the appointing authority shall continue to establish the working
days and the hours of attendance for employees of that respective agency in accordance with 1
CSR 20-5.010(1)(A).
Officials from the Office of the State Auditor (SAO) state that the SAO currently affords staff
members the option to elect to work an alternative ten-hour, four-day work week. When a state
holiday falls on an employee's regularly scheduled work day, the employee receives 8 holiday
hours for the day. The employee has the option to request annual leave or flex the additional two
hours. At current staffing levels, the SAO could lose out on 2,730 working hours in a calendar
year (13 holidays x 2 hours X 105 employees) or the equivalent of 1.3 FTE. If the SAO is fully
staffed at the budgeted 157 FTE, that impact rises to 4,082 working hours, or the equivalent of 2
FTE. Due to the fact that much of the work conducted by the SAO is statutorily required and/or
time sensitive, the provisions contained in this proposed legislation could require the addition of
2 staff auditors.
Oversight notes the cost of 2 FTE is estimated to be around $180,000. Oversight assumes this
estimation is based on all state holidays landing on a 10 hour work day.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Oversight assumes the range of cost is
possible based on interpretation of the proposed language. Oversight notes the number of
employees who work a 10 hour/day schedule is unknown and therefore utilization of this
proposed legislation is unknown.
Oversight will range the cost as $0 (employees can choose to use annual/comp time or leave
without pay to make up the two-hour difference (Option 1 listed above)) to unknown cost (time
is given off without having to take leave (Option 2 listed above)) to the General Revenue Fund
and Other State Funds.
Oversight notes that if each agency allows a flex schedule, each agency could have a potential
cost similar to the SAO. Therefore, Oversight assumes the cost could exceed $250,000.
Officials from the Office of the State Courts Administrator (OSCA) assume there may be
some impact but there is no way to quantify that currently. Any significant changes will be
reflected in future budget requests.
In response to a similar proposal from last year, HB 1565, officials from the OSCA assumed the
proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organization.
Oversight does not anticipate an impact to OSCA. If this assumption is incorrect, this would
alter the fiscal impact as presented in this fiscal note. If additional information is received,
Oversight will review it to determine if an updated fiscal note should be prepared and seek
approval to publish a new fiscal note. L.R. No. 0214H.02C

their respective organizations for this proposal.
Oversight notes that the above mentioned agencies have stated the proposal would not have a
direct fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the
contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note.

potential fiscal impact of this proposal.
Rule Promulgation
Officials from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules assume this proposal is not
anticipated to cause a fiscal impact beyond its current appropriation.
Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) note many bills considered by the
General Assembly include provisions allowing or requiring agencies to submit rules and
regulations to implement the act. The SOS is provided with core funding to handle a certain
amount of normal activity resulting from each year's legislative session. The fiscal impact for
this fiscal note to the SOS for Administrative Rules is less than $5,000. The SOS recognizes that
this is a small amount and does not expect that additional funding would be required to meet
these costs. However, the SOS also recognizes that many such bills may be passed by the
General Assembly in a given year and that collectively the costs may be in excess of what the
office can sustain with its core budget. Therefore, the SOS reserves the right to request funding
for the cost of supporting administrative rules requirements should the need arise based on a
review of the finally approved bills signed by the governor. L.R. No. 0214H.02C

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
The bill allows for flexibility in work schedules for State agencies allowing implementation of a
compressed work week schedule of a four-day work week composed of 10 hours a day, if
deemed appropriate by the relevant authorities. If a State holiday falls on an employee's regularly
scheduled 10 hour work day, the employee will not be required to use his or her own annual
leave to make up the difference between the eight hours of credited holiday time and the
employee's usual 10 hour day. L.R. No. 0214H.02C
