Employees must select a daily start and stop time, which is the same for each day of the work block and must maintain that schedule for a minimum of one work block (defined as a two-week period Sunday-Saturday.) Changes must be made in advance and require the approval of both the CSS appointed Program Manager and the Government work leader.

Available compressed schedules include the following:

5/4/9 Work Schedule allows the completion of eighty (80) hours work in nine (9) days with a Compressed Day Off (CDO). The eighty (80) hour work block is made up of eight (8) 9-hour days and a single 8-hour day (normally the second Friday of the work block). The CDO would be the first Friday of the work block. Deviations from this must be for good cause and have the approval of Contractor management. No deviation in the normal workweek will be permitted without express advance approval by the designated COR.

5/4/9 Work Schedule Example Week 1: Monday through Thursday 0600 to 1530 / Working Friday: 0600 to 1430 Week 2: Monday through Thursday 0600 to 1530/ Friday CDO

4/10 Work Schedule allows the completion of eighty (80) hours work in eight (8) days (Monday-Thursday) with every Friday off.
