Summary

If employees are in a unit with an exclusive representative, any flexible or compressed work schedule — and the choice to start or stop one — must follow this subchapter and the agency’s collective bargaining agreement with that representative. Employees in such a unit can only join programs under this subchapter if the bargaining agreement specifically allows it. An agency may not take part in a flexible or compressed schedule program under a bargaining agreement if that agreement’s premium pay rules conflict with sections 6123 or 6128 of this title.
