Z0548 B-179810 DECEMBER 4, 1979 The Honorable Gladys Neef Spellmai Chair, Subcommittee on Compensation and Employee Benefits Committee on Post Office and Civil Service House of Representatives Dear Madam Chair: Subject: bay for Holidays Under Compressed Work Schedules (FPCD-80-21) S This is in response to your August 29, 1979, letter ask- ing us to examine the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM's) administration of pay for holidays under the compressed work schedule authority of the Federal Employees' Flexible and Compressed Work Schedules Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-390). You expressed concern about the equity and costs of OPM's implementing regulations that provide extra paid time off for holidays to employees on a compressed work schedule. FLEXIBLE AND COMPRESSED WORK SCHEDULE EXPERIMENTS The Congress authorized experiments with flexible and compressed work schedules because it believed that new pri- vate sector trends in the use of flexible work hours and other variations in workday and workweek schedules showed sufficient promise to warrant controlled Federal experimen- tation for a 3-year period. The act's basic purpose is to determine what impact, both positive and negative, these alternatives to traditional work schedules may have on (1) ef- ficiency of Government operations, (2) service to the public, (3) mass transit facilities and traffic, (4) levels of energy consumption, (5) increased opportunities for full-time and part-time employment, and (6) individuals and families in general. The act requires OPM to study and evaluate the impact of alternative work schedules in selected agencies during a 3-year experimental period and report its findings to the Congress. (990515) 7(79 7
