[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the pick ups and practices he might be flexing. He can leave for a few hours and either start early or end later to cover the time away. He should have enough leave to cover a week for winter break, spring break, and summer break. That leaves a week for a vacation and 5 days to cover field trips, etc.

He may get his bonus as leave hours instead of money. I can't tell you if he is slacking or not, but he could be working 40 hours and performing as expected and still be able to do the things he does with his child. One of the advantages of being a Fed is the work life balance.

On our dime. [/quote]

Oh hush.  She said he is doing his 40 per week.  So you’re getting your dime’s worth.  I’m a fed.  Our managers can’t give meaningful bonuses and there is a ton of policy and reg about pay and promotions.  So the ONE thing they can do that adds value is approve our leave requests.  Request for leave that we have earned.  So most managers are just fine with feds that have earned leave taking the leave.  They are also ok with flexible schedules.  Our pay is crap.  A 15 step 5 or 6 is already getting the statutory maximum— so no pay increases except cost of living.  So he’s going to take that leave because it’s the main benefit of government theses days.[/quote]

I am well aware of the pay scale. I stand by my statement. [/quote]
