[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes I work full time. Work about 60 hours a week from home and about 12 from the office. I work so much more at home than at the office that in a way I want to go back to an office setting but my commute is long and would have added expenses. The government is taking advantage of technology and trying to avoid high cost leases. Also, people are more likely to stay at these jobs and low turnover means a lot of savings in training. Now that they have a hiring freeze they need to keep the good people happy. However, working from home means always being available in order to avoid anyone questioning your work hours. To me this means working very long hours.... yet I have never missed a deadline. [/quote]

You are doing this wrong.

[b]No one expects you to work this much (are you working a 12 hour day one day a week in the office??) regardless of where you are doing the work. [/b]

Your hours are 8-4:30. Or 9-5:30. Pick your TOD and that's it. You can only earn 3 credit hours a workday, so I'm not even sure how you are reporting this time. [/quote]

Does management frown on 12 hour/day time entries? [/quote]

I can't enter 12 hours on my fed job time sheet. Only my regular 8 and up to 3 credit hours on a workday or 8 credit hours on a non workday.  We use an online time sheet and it won't accept additional hours.[/quote]

Are you on a work plan that limits your hours in that way? What is the difference between entering 8 hours with 3 credit hours vs 11 hours (if your online time sheet allowed it)?[/quote]

I can't enter 11 regular hours. It would reject the time sheet with errors. Not a particular work plan...just a standard 8.5 hour tour of duty and procedures at my agency say you can't earn more than 3 credit hours on a workday. If I tried to enter more the system would reject my time sheet. You are not technically allowed to work additional hours because that would be uncompensated work time. [/quote]
