Afge Epa Agreement

The AFGE union said its local EPA council had reached a preliminary agreement with the agency on a new contract that includes expanded eligibility for telecommuting and more flexible work schedules, one of the first such agreements to reflect the Biden administration`s guidelines on long-term practices in these areas. In addition, the agreement offers more flexibility in the use of alternative working hours, including so-called “Maxiflex” working hours, with additional flexibility in setting working hours. According to the union, key elements include telework “officially becoming a routine way of doing business at the EPA” and employee eligibility “based on portable work in support of the requested telework plan; and compliance with the requirements of the article on telework. not management preferences. Similarly, remote work – where, unlike telework, the employee is not expected to report regularly to an agency facility – becomes a “routine way of working at the EPA” that “may be temporarily or permanently approved for an employee as part of a strategic analysis of the requirements of the EPA`s mission or to meet an employee`s personal needs.” Debt ceiling, other important issues still outstanding as Congress prepares to close the year. .
