I guess but you can only hold 24 hours of credit at a time.
You can only carry over 24 hours into the next pay period. I’ve earned and burned more inside two weeks, but a max of 24 can be paid out at the end of federal service or transfer to another agency.
You work 40 hours a week.
Wait, are you saying we can do this? Flex in 30 minutes early, but on credit.
but if they don’t cover your shift during the time they approve the credit then there’s no increased cost to them. Which I don’t know why they’d approve your credit then call in OT. On top of that it I use my credit on a Sunday or Night Shift the FAA saves money
Do you not understand they are paying you for more hours than you contractually agreed to work and contractually earn via leave?
I remember the old timers doing this, I'll take free leave anytime assuming the facility is staffed. When they brought credit it back you bet your ass I was earning it on the front end, the nice thing was the FLM couldn't hold me over 😛, which if you are reading this RP you are a solid dude but I'll die by my credit.
I didn't even think about the overtime issue. Probably why my current facility is more restrictive of people working credit. Limits any holdover if needed.
I hate hold over, hate it, absolutely 100%. Front end me, do not tease me with that last hour then slap that 2 hour hold over.
If we have any weather that might require holdover our front end credit gets denied. Damn the man!
It's almost like you don't understand that it is also "costing" the agency/department money when they send all the non essential people home and they get paid not to work for 3 hours before every single holiday too. Those are hours the government accounted for work to be done only to have Pete to play Santa Claus and give everyone something for nothing. But you're saying he can't be Santa Claus for everyone. Only those lucky few who aren't needed. But there's nothing really stopping him from leveling the playing field and treating everyone equally. Maybe we can't get the leave up front, but why not let us take it when staffing allows?
Sure, and they're doing the same for the office folks who got sent home early on pre-holiday excused absence.
They aren’t paying you anymore. Your yearly salary changes 0 dollars. And if it does change it it changes it down not up. The gov loses 3 hours of output from you. But since we don’t produce anything it shouldn’t matter. If the shift is covered it’s covered in our line of work
Our facility got it if they were able to release you. Up to 3 hours
