[quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc]I asked about part time and have basically been told no. I think many managers don't want to give up a full time slot. We aren't allowed to telework either. Or do AWS. Sooooo I would try to talk to your boss about what your options are - can you change your AWS day while pregnant?  Can you temporarily do a pt schedule when you return to try it out.

Opm says its an option, but my my agency has no pt employees (and I'm not trying to go half time, I am trying to do 30-35hrs). Also, tread lightly because 'i can do all my tasks in 25 hours might mean 'this person needs more work to fill a 40hr week'. Maybe also talk to HR and see if anyone else in your agency/dept does this to gauge how pt friendly your office is.

Good luck. [/quote]

20:20 here.  Your post about 30-35 hours brings up a good point.  At least in my agency, they will only allow you do to pt as 20 hours or less a week, nothing more.  It was a shame because I wanted to work 35 hours a week, but it was a no-go.  Also, you should check with your agency whether your office loses the FTE; some friends' agencies keep their FTEs and they go back and forth btwn pt and ft with ease, whereas my agency loses the FTE for sure.[/quote]
