Summary

Any flexible or compressed work schedule for employees who have a union (the exclusive representative) must follow the rules in this part and the terms of the contract between the agency and the union. Workers in a unit with a union cannot be put into any program under this part unless the contract explicitly allows it. An agency cannot agree to a flexible or compressed schedule in a contract if the contract has extra-pay rules that conflict with section 6123 or 6128 of this title, when those sections apply.
