Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Te Alternative Work Schedules

  xperiment: Congressional Oversight

  eeded To Avoid Likely Failure



C n the Federal Government successfully use
fl xible and compressed work schedules as alter-
n tives to the traditional 8-hour day, 40-hour
  orkweek? More than 250,000 Federal em-
p oyees Nation-wide are participating in a 3-
y ar voluntary experiment to find out.

I the experiment is a success, the Congress
  ay modify laws to allow permanent use of
  Iternative work schedules. Because the results
  f the experiment may significantly affect the                 113762
  ork habits and patterns of all Federal em-
  loyees, it is essential that the Congress have
  alid and reliable information on which to base
  ts decision.

  AO believes that the experiment and evalua-
  ion, which OPM is currently conducting, will
  not yield the data the Congress needs. As a
  result, the experiment will fail to achieve its
  intended objectives. GAO makes a number of
  recommendations to OPM and the Congress
  to increase the likelihood that the experiment
  and evaluation will produce the result- needed.
