[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lack of notice is so messed up. In addition to plans people may have had on Monday, a lot of the vanpools are designed around an AWS schedule.

Also, how does this work if you already put in your longer days last week for an RDO to occur next week? Do you get overtime? Or some shorter days this week? Because they cannot accept unpaid hours.[/quote]

We are on maxiflex and I assume if they rescinded AWS we would work shorter days till hit 80. We often work nights and will take half Friday off. [/quote]

So maxiflex is still available? [/quote]

No maxiflex and any daily flexibility is cancelled. I didn’t know this when I went to work this morning and now need to take 2 hours of leave to pick up my daughter at school.

So you were leaving after only being in the office for 6ish hours and then "teleworking" some time later in the day at home?  Yeah, you are the reason this happened.[/quote]

DP. Lol. I am not a Fed but I rarely stay in the office for more than 5-6 hours unless I have a heavy meeting load, which is rare. And yes I do telework at home. I get so much head’s down work done in peace (thoughtful email replies, reviewing my team’s output, strategic thinking). I am so glad some companies realize it’s possible to hire talented people and not babysit them.[/quote]

Do you keep a timecard? - I suspect not, but that is Fed Life.  And Feds know that is the rule, so RTO means canceling of all telework - which needs annotated on the timecard.  This person seems to have still been teleworking on a daily basis.  Feds are also not authorized to telework if there are children dependent on the adult for care in the home.  If maxiflex means regular periods of telework each week then by effect maxiflex was canceled. [/quote]

Are you a fed? Maxi flex is literally the only way I can pick up my kids on time. The person you’re complaining about either banks extra hours on a different day so they can pick up their kids on Mondays or typically comes in early so they can leave early in time for pick up.  I don’t know how someone can parent in the DC region without AWS, frankly. My kids’ aftercare ends at 6 and my job is an hour away. [/quote]

My understanding is as long as someone puts in 8.5 consecutive hours in the office, that is a permissible schedule, unless USCIS has a rule that one one can start before 0700. But even starting at 7 allows one to leave at 3:30. [/quote]
