§ 4-1-2-1 — State employees; working day; holidays; state library

It is the intent of this chapter that state offices be
open and able to conduct public business at all times during an eight
and one-half (8 1/2) hour working day. Each employee shall work for
a full seven and one-half (7 1/2) hours each working day and provision
for a one (1) hour lunch period shall be provided each employee. Lunch
hours of employees shall be staggered to permit the conduct of business
at all times during a working day. Breaks shall be provided as set forth
in IC 5-10-6-2. It shall be lawful for state offices to close their doors for
business from the close of the working day each Friday or in the event
Friday is a legal holiday, then from the close of the working day on the
Thursday which immediately precedes such legal holiday, until the
commencement of the working day on the next following Monday, or
in the event Monday is a legal holiday, then until the commencement
of the working day on the Tuesday which immediately follows such
legal holiday; provided, however, that the state library may be kept
open until noon Saturdays in the discretion of the Indiana library and
historical board.
