1.2 Concept of Operations

1.2.1 General Hours of Operation:

The above stated hours are general operating hours. The Government reserves the right to adjust days/hours of operation to meet the needs of test programs. All change notifications will be provided by the Branch Heads to the TPOC and COR. When the need for Weekend/Holiday flight and engineering activities arises, notice will be given by the Branch Head or designated representative to the Contractor with notification to the TPOC and COR.

1.2.2 Time and Attendance Procedures

Personnel are expected to report to work per hours determined by Branch Head. The Branch Head must be notified of all planned absences and late arrivals. If personnel call off sick, notification must be made to the Branch Head/Designated Representative.

1.2.2.1 Overtime

The contractor shall not work any overtime without approval by the COR. The contractor shall provide an estimate of number of OT hours required for the OT effort in their OT approval request.

1.2.3 Telework Policy

1.2.3.1 Government Coordination

The Contractor shall have a Telework Policy which addresses security of all official data, protection of any Government furnished equipment (GFE) and property, and accomplishment of the mission of NAVAIR at the alternative worksite. The contractor telework policy shall also address the process for approving individual telework requests. The contractor’s telework policy will be reviewed on an annual basis. The Government considers telework not as an entitlement but discretionary workplace flexibility and shall not be authorized if mission requirements will be compromised. Therefore, all telework requests shall be coordinated with the Branch Head and the COR.

1.2.3.2 Recognized Policy Types

The government recognizes two main types of telework arrangements "regular and recurring" and "situational." Additionally, there is a subset to "situational" telework known as "unscheduled telework", which is intended for limited use during severe weather conditions or other circumstances that may disrupt or prevent employees from normally reporting to work.

1.2.3.2.1 Regular & Recurring

Regular and recurring telework is a work schedule that includes two or more days in a pay period. Regular and recurring telework may include "full time" telework (i.e., performing all official duties at an approved alternative worksite), including telework from geographic locations outside of the commuting area to the traditional worksite.

1.2.3.2.2 Situational

Situational telework is sometimes referred to as episodic, intermittent, unscheduled, or ad-hoc telework. This provides an ideal arrangement for employees who, at times, have to work on projects or assignments that require concentration and uninterrupted blocks of time for successful completion, or to accomplish routine job tasks, when practicable. Work assignments in this situation may include completing web-based training or a specific project or report, such as drafting a local directive, preparing a brief or arguments, preparing an organization's budget submission, reviewing grant proposals, or preparing a research paper. Such situations may occur throughout the year or be a one-time event.

1.2.3.3 Document & Computer Control

All files, records, papers, or machine-readable materials created while teleworking are the property of the Government. No classified documents (hard copy or electronic) may be taken to an employee's alternative worksite. Sensitive unclassified material, including Privacy Act and For Official Use Only data, may only be used by teleworkers provided with GFE. GFE must only be used for official duties and family members and friends of teleworkers are not authorized to use any GFE.

1.2.3.4 Personal Computers

Where there is an agreement for the contractor employee to use a personally–owned computer for telework on a non-sensitive unclassified data, remote access software may be installed onto personally-owned computers to enable access to unclassified DoD systems and networks consistent with criteria and guidelines established by the NAVAIR Chief Information Officer (CIO). This is “no cost” to the Government.

2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

When a publication provided by the Government is subsequently revised, supplemented, replaced, or rescinded, the contractor shall be required to comply. Conflict between this and any applicable document shall be referred to the TPOC and COR for resolution.
