Opportunities: Working at HRSA
Quality
of Worklife
Alternative Work Schedules (AWS)
AWS allows employees to work schedules other than
the traditional 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week
with fixed starting and quitting times:
- Flexitime
allows employees to vary the times they arrive and
depart work within preset parameters, and to earn
and use credit hours.
-
Compressed Work Schedules allow
employees to fulfill the basic work requirement
of 80 hours in a bi-weekly pay period in less than
10 working days. HRSA has two plans:
- 5-4/9:
an employee works five days one week and four
days the alternate week. During the nine work
days, the employee works eight nine-hour days
and one eight-hour day; or
- 4-10:
an employee works four ten-hour days each week.
Flexiplace
Flexiplace allows employees, based on specific criteria,
to work at home or at other approved locations remote
from the conventional office site. The terms, "flexiplace,"
"telecommuting" and "teleworking"
are synonymous and include working at home or other
satellite locations.
