OPM guides on flex schedules

      The Office of Personnel Management spelled out some details on just how flexible federal agency worker schedules are allowed to be as operations resume during the COVID-19 pandemic. The terms are likely to be a model for federal contractors as well.

      In a May 27 memo, OPM officials described a number of arrangements involving Basic Work Requirements (80 hours every two weeks) and Core Hours (minimum of 2 hours on 2 workdays every two weeks when all employees must be working), including:

• Flexible Time Bands allowing employees to set their hours, with conditions;
• Credit Hours allows employees to work additional hours with supervision;
• Flexitour allows agencies to choose start and stop times on weekly basis;
• Gliding allows employees to vary start and stop times on a daily basis;
• Variable Day allows workers to vary start, stop and length of day; and
• Variable Week allows employees to vary weekly and daily hours.
