Summary

When workers are in a unit with an exclusive representative (union), flexible or compressed schedules and decisions to start or stop them must follow this subchapter and the unit’s collective bargaining agreement. Those workers join programs only if the agreement allows it. An agency cannot accept extra-pay rules that conflict with sections 6123 or 6128.
