       (Editor's note:  This Index of Issuance is published under 1 Pa. Code § 3.1(a)(9) (relating to contents of Code). This document meets the criteria of 45 Pa.C.S. § 702(7) as a document general and permanent in nature which shall be codified in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.)

    Annex A

    TITLE 4.  ADMINISTRATION

    PART I.  GOVERNOR'S OFFICE

    CHAPTER 1.  AGENCY OPERATION AND ORGANIZATION

    Subchapter A.  DIRECTIVES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

    § 1.4.  Index of issuances.

       (a)  Section 1.2 (relating to policy) specifies that ''Issuances from the Governor's Office and from agencies under the Governor's jurisdiction, except proclamations and press releases, that are intended for distribution to two or more agencies are to be issued through the Directives Management System in one of four types of publications:

       (1) Numbered Executive Orders, signed by the Governor, announcing broad policies, programs and responsibilities that are relatively permanent.

       (2) Numbered Management Directives announcing detailed policies, programs, responsibilities and procedures that are relatively permanent. Management Directives are to be signed by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Budget Secretary, Secretary of Administration or the head of a department or independent board, commission or council under the Governor's jurisdiction.

       (3) Numbered Administrative Circulars containing either informational material or instructions that are one-time or temporary in nature. Administrative Circulars are to be signed the same as Management Directives.

       (4) Numbered procedural issuances containing detailed information and guidelines for relatively restricted, well-defined operations or sets of operations. Procedural issuances may be manuals, handbooks, catalogs, guides or similar publications. Manuals are to be signed the same as Management Directives.

       (b) Management Directives and Manuals are numbered in sequence by category such as, Financial Management, and subcategory such as, Payroll. They should be filed by number, not by date.

       (c) Changes to Executive Orders, Management Directives and Manuals (catalogs, handbooks, bulletins, and the like) may be issued in the form of amendments or revisions. Amendments are complete documents incorporating all changes since the last complete issuance. Dots are placed in the margins to show the new or changed text. Revisions are usually pen and ink changes or replacement pages and affect only those parts of an issuance being changed.

       (d) Every agency should include in its distribution under each symbol a basic amount for managers and centrally located reference files. Additional copies depending on the symbol, should be included for action offices, field offices, extra information copies, and bulletin boards. Distribution symbols have the following meanings:

    Distribution
    Symbol
    Definition
    A Of limited interest or requires action by only one or a few segments of an agency.
    B Of general interest or requires action by many segments of an agency.
    F Requires action by the personnel office or the main impact is in the field of human resources.
    Special Designed to fit specific needs. Most manuals are in this category.

       (e)  All changes in distribution requirements and requests for additional copies of all issuances should be referred to 783-5055.

    § 1.5.  Office hours.

       (a)  Under sections 221 and 709(d) of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. §§  81 and 249(d)), the Executive Board has, in a resolution dated September 26, 1985, determined the hours when the central administrative offices of State Government are to be open for the transaction of public business at least 8 hours each day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and selected holidays as determined by the Executive Board.

       (b)  An agency may authorize employees to work a standard schedule at hours outside the office hours shown on the schedule of office hours. An agency may assign employees to work staggered work hours to meet program or operational needs, or approve employee requests to accommodate transportation, family care, education, or other compelling reasons. An agency also may establish, with Office of Administration approval, alternate work schedules andflex-time arrangements for operational units that measurably will improve efficiency and/or client service. Such scheduling variations outside of an agency's standard operating hours cannot impair the operational efficiency or client service provided by the agency.

       (d)  Requests for changes to the schedule shall be forwarded to the Secretary of Administration, with justification, for consideration by the Executive Board.
