RE:            Favorable Arbitration Decision Regarding Rights to Part-Time Work Schedules

Summary:  An arbitrator ordered the IRS to grant an employee’s request for a part-time schedule needed to meet family responsibilities.

 Under the NTEU-IRS National Agreement, Article 22, Section 3, the IRS is required to make part-time work available to interested employees “to the maximum extent possible,” and may only deny part-time schedule requests for “just cause.”  Unfortunately, despite this clear contract language, employees sometimes find their requests for part-time schedules denied without a sound business reason.  A recent arbitration victory clarifies and reinforces the broad contract benefits provided and the limits on the agency’s ability to deny part-time schedule requests.
