Permitting Part-Time Employees to Work Regularly Scheduled Weeks of 33 to 39 Hours

The statutes governing federal employment permit federal agencies to schedule part-time employees to work regularly scheduled weeks of 33 to 39 hours.

The Federal Employees Part-Time Career Employment Act of 1978 does not limit agencies’ preexisting authority to schedule part-time employees to work any number of hours per week less than 40.
