Article 27
Part-Time Employment

Section 1. Introduction

Part-time employment may be available as a work place option. Any part-time arrangement is subject to Management approval based on workload and mission requirements.

Section 2. Consideration for Conversion

a. If a full-time employee wishes to convert to part-time, he/she shall make a request to his/her supervisor. The supervisor will consider the employee's request.
b. Conversion from full-time to part-time employment and the reverse can be made only with the employee's request and Management approval. Employees will be given a copy of the part-time position description upon Management approval of the conversion and shall know the grade of that position before accepting conversion to part-time.
c. Employees who accept or convert to part-time positions have no guarantee they will be subsequently converted to full-time employment, but Management agrees to make good faith efforts to accommodate the employee's request.
d. An employee who is denied a conversion from full-time to part-time or vice versa shall be notified of the reasons.
