**Portland, Oregon**

**PERSONNEL LETTER NO. 340-1 (Revised) DATE: March 27, 2008**

**SUBJECT:** Part-Time Career Employment

# 

# PURPOSE 

This Personnel Letter-

-   Describes Bonneville Power Administration's (BPA's) policy and
    procedures pertaining to its Part-Time Career Employment Program.

-   Clarifies impacts of part-time employment on retirement for both
    CSRS and FERS employees (Appendix B).

-   Clarifies that annual Student Career Experience Program (SCEP)
    employees **are** covered under this Personnel Letter. Therefore,
    when working a part-time schedule, they may work less than 16 hours
    per week but not work more than 32 hours per week. Appendix A and B
    to the Personnel Letter is amended. The Limited-Duration Part-Time
    Work Schedule Agreement and the listing of employee considerations
    regarding part-time employment are now contained in BPA F 3330.10e,
    Limited-Duration Part-Time Work Schedule Agreement (attached). This
    Personnel Letter supercedes Personnel Letter 340-1, dated April 25,
    2003.

-   Covers all competitive and excepted service, permanent appointment
    annual employees at GS-15 and below, including annual Student Career
    Experience Program (SCEP) employees. Hourly employees are excluded
    from this program except: (a) for employees under a SCEP appointment
    when a part-time tour-of-duty is consistent with the employee's
    training program; and (b) as otherwise mutually agreed to by BPA and
    the bargaining unit.

# 

# POLICY

It is BPA policy to permit current employees to work part-time, either
permanently or by entering into Limited-Duration Part-Time Work Schedule
Agreements, and to hire new part-time employees, whenever such a
schedule will not interfere with the efficiency and effectiveness of the
organization in which they work. Subject to such organizational
considerations, it is BPA policy to use the flexibilities addressed in
this Personnel Letter to assist employees in addressing their work/life
balance needs and to assist management in retaining a high quality
workforce. Other flexibilities exist such as use of leave, earning and
using credit hours, and limited use of leave without pay. Please refer
to Personnel Letters 610-5, Hours of Duty, and 630-1, Leave
Administration, for more information.

The total number of hours in a biweekly tour-of-duty for part-time
employees shall be in whole hour increments. For a single workday, the
work schedule shall be in either whole-hour or half-hour increments.

Note: The language of this Personnel Letter does not take into account
the possibility of compressed work schedules for part-time employees
(see Personnel Letter 610-5, Hours of Duty). (A compressed work schedule
is a fixed schedule, in which the employee has longer daily tours of
duty in order to work a smaller number of days in a biweekly period.
Such schedules do not permit earning and using credit hours.) It is
possible to apply the provisions of this Personnel Letter to such
schedules; the rules contained in this Personnel Letter should be
interpreted accordingly (e.g., references to 32 hours a week would be
interpreted as 64 hours per biweekly period).

# RESPONSIBILITIES

A.  **Human Capital Management will:**

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  Advise employees and managers regarding BPA's part-time employment
    program.

2.  Advise full-time employees who desire to convert to part-time work
    schedules of changes in their benefits and employment rights.

3.  Coordinate the setting of annual goals for career part-time
    employment, and prepare and submit appropriate achievement reports,
    as required by the Office of Personnel Management.

4.  Provide advice to managers and employees on establishing
    limited-duration part-time work schedule agreements.

5.  Ensure that copies of this Personnel Letter (electronic or hard
    copy), including the Appendices, are made available to all employees
    upon request.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
B.  **Managers will:**

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  Determine whether there are opportunities in their immediate work
    setting to hire part-time employees or to convert full-time
    employees to part-time work schedules (at their request) without
    detriment to workload accomplishment.

2.  Approve, modify or disapprove requests by employees to enter into
    limited-duration part-time work schedule agreements. The manager may
    cancel a limited-duration part-time work schedule agreement at any
    time, based on changes in business needs, such as an increase in
    volume of work.

3.  Ensure, to the best of their ability, that employees are not coerced
    into requesting changes in work schedules that are covered by this
    Personnel Letter.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
C.  **Full-time employees desiring to work a part-time schedule in their
    immediate work setting will:** Make their immediate managers aware
    of their interests, including their proposed work schedule and
    whether they wish to enter into a limited-duration part-time work
    schedule agreement.

## FILLING VACANT PERMANENT-DURATION PART-TIME POSITIONS

Part-time vacancies will be announced under merit promotion plan
procedures, except when they are filled by the conversion of full-time
employees. Vacancy announcements must clearly set forth the proposed
tour-of-duty and other working conditions unique to the part-time
position.

## CHANGING FROM A PERMANENT-DURATION FULL-TIME TO A PERMANENT-DURATION PART-TIME TOUR-OF-DUTY

Permanent full-time employees may be converted to part-time status only
at the discretion of BPA management. When an employee proposes
consideration for conversion from a full-time to a part-time work
schedule on a permanent basis, the following steps should be followed:

A.  The employee makes a written request to his/her manager to be
    changed to a part-time schedule.

B.  The manager must assess the employee's request in connection with
    the needs of the organization and forward the request and a
    recommended action to the second-level or Tier II manager, whichever
    is lower, with the authority to approve the request.

C.  If the employee's request is approved, the manager must arrange for
    a Personnel Action Request (PAR) to be submitted to effect the
    conversion. The employee's written request for conversion must be
    submitted with the PAR.

D.  If the employee's request is denied, he/she may seek advice from
    Personnel Services regarding alternative part-time positions that
    may be available. If a position is not available, the employee must
    wait until a part-time opportunity is available.

## CHANGING FROM A PERMANENT-DURATION PART-TIME TO A PERMANENT-DURATION FULL-TIME TOUR-OF-DUTY

Permanent part-time employees may be converted to full-time status only
at the discretion of BPA management. An employee who desires to be
converted to full-time status permanently can make such a request to
their manager. Another option is to apply on full-time vacancies. The
procedures listed in XI. A-C, above, will be followed.

## CHANGING FROM PERMANENT-DURATION FULL-TIME OR PERMANENT DURATION PART-TIME TO A LIMITED-DURATION PART-TIME TOUR-OF-DUTY

Permanent full-time employees may request that they be converted to
part-time status for a limited period of time, based on family or other
personal needs. Similarly, a permanent part-time employee may request
that their work schedule be further reduced (subject to minimum-hour
requirements noted elsewhere in this Personnel Letter) for a limited
period of time, based on family or other personal needs. A request is
sent to the employee's manager. Management retains the discretion to
approve or disapprove the request. See section XI for procedures.

# LIMITED-DURATION PART-TIME WORK SCHEDULE AGREEMENTS

A.  A Manager and an employee may agree to establish a limited-duration
    part-time work schedule agreement. Such an agreement permits the
    employee to work on a part-time schedule or a reduced part-time
    schedule for a limited-duration. BPA F 3330.10e, Limited-Duration
    Part-Time Work Schedule Agreement, entitles the employee to return
    to his/her original work schedule at the end of the agreement's
    duration.

B.  All requirements and restrictions for part-time work schedules
    specified in this Personnel Letter also are applicable to
    limited-duration part-time work schedules.

C.  When an employee desires to be considered for a limited-duration
    part-time work schedule tour-of-duty, the following steps should be
    followed:

    1.  The employee submits a proposed agreement for a limited-duration
        part-time work schedule to his/her manager. BPA F 3330.10e,
        Limited-Duration Part-Time Work Schedule Agreement, attached as
        Appendix A, should be used.

    2.  The supervisor/manager must assess the proposed agreement in
        accordance with the needs of the organization and forward the
        request and a recommended action to the second-level or Tier II
        manager, whichever is lower, with the authority to approve the
        request.

    3.  If the parties agree to the limited-duration part-time work
        schedule, the manager must arrange for a Personnel Action
        Request (PAR) to be submitted to Personnel Services to effect
        the limited-duration conversion to a part-time schedule or
        reduced part-time schedule. The agreement should be submitted
        with the PAR (see section XII, below). The remarks section must
        note the number of scheduled part-time hours of work per week,
        and must also note the limited-duration nature of the work
        schedule with the following statement: "Part-time work schedule
        is for a limited-duration NTE \_\_\_\_\_."

    4.  If the agreement is denied, the employee may seek advice from
        Personnel Services regarding alternative part-time positions
        that may be available, the possibility of being reassigned to a
        position in which the work would allow for a limited-duration
        part-time tour-of-duty, or other tools such as leave, leave
        without pay, and credit hours that can help the employee address
        their personal needs.

D.  Agreements can be short-term to accommodate a specific situation, or
    longer-term, for a period up to 52 weeks. If the employee desires to
    continue the limited-duration part-time work schedule after the
    initial agreed upon duration expires, he/she should submit a new
    request. If approved, a new agreement will be executed. An employee
    should not be permitted to work under a "limited-duration" agreement
    or arrangement for more than 104 consecutive weeks. Instead, the
    position should be examined to determine the appropriate
    tour-of-duty that should be established permanently.

E.  The immediate manager may terminate the agreement at any time.
    Whether the employee will have the same option is noted in the terms
    of the agreement (see BPA F 3330.10e, Limited-Duration Part-Time
    Work Schedule Agreement). A supervisor/manager is cautioned to
    consider the impact of permitting the employee such flexibility.

F.  The instructions in section XII, below, must be followed to make
    temporary, short-term or permanent changes to an employee's work
    schedule while the employee is covered by a Limited-Duration
    Part-Time Work Schedule Agreement.

G.  If the employee changes positions, the agreement is canceled on the
    last day in the original position. A request must be made to the
    immediate supervisor/manager of the new position. If the employee is
    detailed to a new position, the present agreement is suspended until
    the employee returns to the original position, and a new agreement
    must be initiated for the detail position with the new immediate
    supervisor/manager.

### PROCESSING PROCEDURES FOR CHANGES IN TOURS-OF-DUTY

A.  **Permanent Increase in Part-Time Hours:** A Personnel Action
    Request (PAR) must be processed to effect a permanent increase in a
    part-time tour-of-duty (up to 32-hours maximum) or to change the
    condition of employment from part-time to full-time. **(If there is
    an increase in the number of part-time hours, the new part-time
    hours must be annotated on the PAR.)**

B.  **Temporary Increase in Part-Time Hours or Temporary Increase to
    Full-Time Tour-of-duty:** When required by workload demands,
    employee training, or travel requirements, the hours in a part-time
    tour-of-duty may be increased for up to two consecutive pay periods
    by recording the change on a BPA F 2220.21e, Schedule Change
    Worksheet. This provision includes increases in work schedules for
    students working during school breaks. Changes for more than 2
    consecutive pay periods require processing a Personnel Action
    Request (PAR). Under no circumstances may a part-time, permanent
    employee be required or authorized to work in excess of 32 hours per
    week, but less than 40 hours per week, for more than 4 consecutive
    weeks. Frequently scheduling a part-time employee to work in excess
    of 32 hours per week is an indication that the position needs
    reexamination to determine if it is properly established as a
    part-time position.

C.  **Short-Term Change to Full-Time:** A short-term change (more than
    two pay periods) of part-time tours to full-time tours is permitted
    when extenuating circumstances, such as an unexpected increase in
    workload, make it necessary. In such instances, a PAR will be
    completed to reflect the change to full-time. A remark will be added
    to record the not-to-exceed date in order to avoid creating a
    potential adverse action due to a reduction in pay upon conversion
    back to part-time. In addition, the manager must have the employee
    sign a memorandum of understanding, which will be filed on the left
    side of the OPF, indicating full knowledge that the full-time
    schedule is temporary, the reason for the change, and the
    not-to-exceed date of the temporary full-time schedule. Frequently
    scheduling a part-time employee to work full-time is an indication
    that the position needs reexamination to determine if it is properly
    established as a part-time position. In general, such changes for
    more than 6 months at a time, or repeated changes that result in
    working full-time for a majority of the time during an entire year,
    would indicate the need to reexamine the position.

D.  **Permanent or Temporary Decrease in Part-Time Hours:** A voluntary
    decrease in the established tour-of-duty of a part-time employee
    must be requested in writing by the employee. ([NOTE]{.underline}:
    An involuntary decrease in an established tour-of-duty, unless
    permitted by the employee's condition of employment, constitutes an
    involuntary reduction-in-pay and, therefore, is an adverse action
    and the Employee Relations staff must be consulted.).

    1.  Permanent decrease or temporary decrease of more than two pay
        periods: A PAR is required to permanently decrease an employee's
        established tour-of-duty or to decrease it for more than two pay
        periods on a temporary basis. BPA F 2220.21e must also be
        completed and forwarded to the Payroll Office before the end of
        the pay period in which the change will be effected.

    2.  Decrease for two pay periods or less: A decrease in an
        employee's established tour-of-duty may be accomplished by using
        a BPA F 2220.21e, Schedule Change Worksheet, when it will not
        last beyond two pay periods. Also, see BPA instructions on use
        of leave-without-pay (LWOP) in Personnel Letter 630-1, Chapter
        5, paragraph A, General Rules on Use of LWOP.

E.  **Limited-duration Part-Time Work Schedule:** An agreement between
    an employee and his/her manager, as described in section XI, above,
    and in Appendix A, attached, is required for changes beyond two pay
    periods.

F.  **Change in Tour-of-Duty With No Change in Number of Hours:** After
    the initial official work schedule has been established and
    documented on the SF 50, it may be necessary to rearrange the days
    and/or hours of a day on which a part-time career employee works
    when there is no increase or decrease in total hours. Such changes
    must be approved by the supervisor/manager 1 week in advance of the
    date on which the change is to occur. BPA F 2220.21e, Schedule
    Change Worksheet, will be used to document the new work schedule.

    **NOTE:** The tours-of-duty for temporary employees may not be
    increased or decreased, permanently or on a short-term basis. If
    tour-of-duty adjustments must be made, convert the employee to a new
    temporary appointment with the appropriate tour-of-duty.

I.  IMPACT OF PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT ON BENEFITS AND OTHER PERSONNEL
    AREAS[]{#__RefHeading___Toc194727056 .anchor}

The impacts of part-time employment on benefits and other personnel
areas are included in Appendix B. In particular, the impact on
retirement annuities is substantial and should be fully understood by
the employee. A copy Appendix B, attached, should be provided to
employees who are considering requesting a part-time tour-of-duty.

II. JOB SHARING[]{#__RefHeading___Toc194727057 .anchor}

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
A.  Status: Although Job sharers share the duties of a position, they
    are considered to be individual part-time employees for purposes of
    appointment, tour-of-duty, pay, classification, leave, holidays,
    benefits position change, service credit, record keeping,
    reduction-in-force, adverse actions, grievances, and personnel
    ceilings.

B.  Tour-of-Duty: A variety of different work scheduling arrangements
    can be used. For example, split days (one job sharer works mornings
    and the other afternoons); alternative days (one job sharer works
    Monday, the other Tuesday, etc.); or split weeks (one job sharer
    works Monday morning through noon Wednesday and the other works from
    noon Wednesday through Friday. Job sharers may also work alternate
    weeks so long as each job sharer works no more than 32 hours a week
    and has at least 1 hour of work regularly scheduled in each of the 2
    weeks of the biweekly pay period. The work schedules of job sharers
    may overlap (one job sharer may work from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every
    day and the other from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.). This arrangement can
    provide agencies with extra coverage during heavy workload periods.
    A certain amount of overlap may also be desirable to enable job
    sharers to attend staff meetings or familiarize each other with work
    developments. Although most job sharers split the hours of the
    position in half, this is not a requirement. For example, one job
    sharer could work 24 hours each week and the other 16.

C.  Position Classification and Position Description: Job sharers each
    have a separate position description that may or may not be
    identical to the other. Duties of job sharers may be the same or
    different. It is also possible to have \"split-level" job sharing in
    which one job sharer performs duties classified at a higher-grade
    level than the duties performed by the other employee sharing the
    position. If a position is divided in this manner, separate position
    descriptions are required, and each position must be separately
    classified according to the appropriate classification standard.

D.  Merit Promotion Eligibility: Job sharers may apply for a full-time
    position (or other job share positions) under the merit promotion
    programs but the qualifications of each job sharer is evaluated
    individually. If both potential job sharers are among the best
    qualified, they are referred as a team to the selecting official. A
    job sharer may also individually apply for promotion to a part-time
    or full-time position. The job sharer would have to agree to convert
    to a full-time schedule (or the work schedule of the part-time
    position) if selected for the position.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
III. PART-TIME EMPLOYEES MAY HOLD MORE THAN ONE POSITION

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc194727058 .anchor}

> A part-time employee may hold more than one position at a time. The
> positions may or may not be with the same agency. The positions may or
> may not be in the same series and/or grade. The aggregate hours of
> work, under all appointments held by an employee, may not exceed 40
> hours in a calendar week (Sunday to Saturday). Part-time employees
> holding more than one position may work overtime; the 40-hour
> restriction applies to the scheduled workweek.

IV. POSITION MANAGEMENT[]{#__RefHeading___Toc194727059 .anchor}

> Job sharing and concurrent part-time appointments are effective ways
> of dealing with position management issues. If a set of duties is
> strongly mixed as to grade, for example, there is sometimes the
> inclination to classify a full-time position at the higher-graded
> level. By applying the concepts of job sharing or concurrent part-time
> appointments, managers can address higher-graded duties more
> specifically, in effect classifying the higher-graded duties to one
> position and the lower-graded duties to the others.

V.  EVALUATION[]{#__RefHeading___Toc194727060 .anchor}

> This program will be evaluated periodically by the Chief Human Capital
> Officer.

| H.  [Retirement]{.underline}. [CSRS:]{.underline} As a result of      |
|     Public Law 99-272 (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation     |
|     Act), which was effective April 7, 1986, the formula for          |
|     computing annuities for part-time employees was changed.          |
|     Employees who have part-time service on or after April 7, 1986,   |
|     are affected by this law. For part-time service performed prior   |
|     to April 7, 1986, retirement benefits are computed using the same |
|     formula as that used for full-time service. Part-time service     |
|     performed after April 6, 1986 is prorated. The number of          |
|     part-time hours worked is divided by the number of hours a        |
|     full-time employee would have worked. This is called the CSRS     |
|     proration factor. Example: if an employee worked 32 hours per     |
|     week from 04-07-1986 until retirement, the CSRS proration factor  |
|     will be 80%.                                                      |
|                                                                       |
| > The combined basic annuity of a CSRS employee who has any part-time |
| > service on or After April 7, 1986 is the sum of two separate        |
| > computations:                                                       |
|                                                                       |
| -   A Pre-April 7, 1986 basic annuity, using the employee's total     |
|     creditable serve through April 6, 1986 (plus unused sick leave as |
|     of the date of employee's separation: and                         |
|                                                                       |
| -   A post-April 6, 1986 basic annuity, using the employee's service  |
|     from April 7, 1986 through the date of separation, and leftover   |
|     days from the length of service used to computer the pre-April 7, |

| I.  [Pay]{.underline}. Overtime pay is paid to part-time employees in |
|     the same manner and under the same provisions that apply to       |
|     full-time employees. For additional information on overtime under |
|     Title 5 or FLSA, see Personnel Letters 550-1 and 551-1,           |
|     respectively                                                      |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| J.  [Reduction-In-Force]{.underline}. Part-time employees are in a    |
|     separate competitive level and compete on a separate retention    |
|     register from full-time employees. Part-time employees do not     |
|     compete with full-time employees for retention, regardless of     |
|     tenure or other factors. Part-time employees have bump and        |
|     retreat rights only to other part-time jobs. Full-time employees  |
|     have rights only to other full-time jobs.                         |

|     Tour-of-Duty]{.underline}. Except as otherwise noted in Personnel |
|     Letter 340-1 (dealing with Limited-duration Part-Time Work        |
|     Schedule Agreements), part-time employees may be converted to     |
|     full-time status only at the discretion of management.            |
