OPM Explains Right to Request Flexibilities

Reflecting language in the White House memo, the OPM guidance adds: “Federal employees have the right to request, without fear of retaliation or adverse employee action as a consequence of making such a request, work schedule flexibilities available to them under law, pursuant to any applicable collective bargaining agreement or under other agency policy. Federal agencies and supervisors should ensure that procedures and policies are in place that will allow federal employees to make such requests without fear of retaliation.” For a closer look, go to https://www.fedweek.com/HFI in the free info section of our website.
