[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does BVA care when you do your work? For example, if my kid has a class trip on a weekday and I want to go, but I’m willing to work a day on the weekend to keep on track and meet 40 hrs per week, does anyone care? Or are you expected to be behind the computer at set times?[/quote]

I'm not sure what these people are talking about. This kind of thing happens all the time.

The key is to set your work schedule so you have some flex time built in. If you work a 40 hour week over four days, that leaves one weekday as your flex day or benefit day as some call it.  You are off that day so you can do what you want and are not expected to be working.  For most people that is Friday, but it can be whatever day you choose.  So, If little suzy has a field trip on Wednesday and you want to go, all you would need to do is email your supervisor and say "My benefit day is Friday, but little Suzy has a field trip on Wednesday.  Do you mind if I take my benefit day Wednesday and work on Friday instead?"  and, absent some very odd reasons, your supervisor will respond and say "Sure, have fun!"  It is quite common at the Board.  [/quote]
