What should DCMA employees who wish to work a “flexible” work schedule be doing and documenting?
Employees on a “flexible” work schedule should only be working and documenting their workday as 8 regular hour days, 5 days per workweek. All hours worked in excess of that 8 regular hour workday, should be documented as either Credit Hours or Overtime earned. By following this practice of documenting only 8 “regular” hour workdays, when the employee is out sick or on annual leave, they are only charged 8 hours leave per day. The employee is not locked into any predetermined 5/4/9 work schedule with set regular-days-off. Employees on a flexible work schedule may use their credit hours earned to take off for an hour, half a day or all day at any time they choose (with supervisory coordination and approval of course). The employee on a flexible schedule is free to flex their start and stop times, plus or minus one hour, as long as they only work a workday made up of 8 “regular” hours plus any amount of Credit Hours or approved Overtime and a 5 day (40 hour) workweek.
