An agency may approve a flexible work schedule that has an 80-hour biweekly basic work requirement but allows the employee to vary by day and/or week the work hours performed. For example, an employee could work 44 hours over 5 days in one week and 36 hours over 4 days in the second week. Also, an employee could be allowed to choose to have shorter workdays and work more than the normal 10 workdays biweekly (e.g., work on Saturday). An agency could establish a maxiflex schedule with minimal core hours (2 core hours on each of 2 workdays in the biweekly pay period) and flexible time bands that cover all hours on Monday through Saturday (excluding holidays). In determining flexible time bands, an agency should consider the effects on the accomplishment of the agency mission.
