Flexible/Alternative Work Schedules
Many offices at Headquarters have adopted the use of
alternative work schedules (AWS) allowing an employee to have a
non-work day during the week or pay period by working other than a
standard eight hour schedule. There are two variations which you
can request to work. Under the 5/4-9 schedule, each pay period
(a two week, 10 work day period) you work nine hours a day for eight
days, eight hours for another day, and have the tenth day off. Under
the 4-10 schedule, you work ten hours a day for four days each week
(eight ten hour days in a pay period). Work days for either work
schedule will commence no earlier than 6:30 a.m. and end no later
than 6:00 p.m.
The use of AWS is subject to meeting the business needs of your office.
You may be denied an AWS schedule if your position requires that you
be present every day, or you may be denied a particular day off because
of work requirements or the absence of other employees on the same day.
In addition, you may be taken off an AWS schedule temporarily when you
are in training, travel or on special assignment.
Participation in AWS is also based on your acceptable performance and
attendance. You may not participate in an AWS program if your performance
rating is less than a level "2". Further, your supervisor may temporarily
remove you from AWS by issuing an "AWS suspension memo" if you have a
documented attendance problem.
