Exemptions Given on 4-Day Workweek

To cut down on overtime costs, maintenance workers at the Oxnard and Camarillo airports will no longer adhere to the county’s new four-day work schedule.

The County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to exempt seven maintenance workers from the four-day schedule, imposed in June to save money.

According to county airport officials, the four-day workweek made it difficult to provide a full-time maintenance crew at the two airports without putting employees on overtime.

The maintenance workers will now work five days one week, followed by four the next.

The Sheriff’s Department, court services and the health-care system have kept most employees on the old five-days-a-week schedules.
