MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT 

The parties, Defense Distribution Depot Puget Sound (DDPW) and the 

Bremerton Metal Trades Council (BMTC), agree to the following in addition to the 

language regarding flextime contained in Article 8, Section 808, of the negotiated 

agreement dated October 27, 2005. 

1. Employees will be permitted to flex their work schedules with certain 

controlled parameters put in to place. Employees will be required to sign in and 

sign out while flexing, coordinate such arrangements with the supervisor in 

advance whenever possible and have 8 hours in a paid status each work day. 

a. Employees will not normally be able to start any earlier than 0630. 

Employees may request permission to start earlier than 0630, if the need arises 

on occasion only. If management can support the request with workload and 

manpower considerations, permission to start as early as 0530 will not be 

unreasonably withheld. 

b. Employees will be able to flex in until 0830. 

c. Normal flextime duty hours end at 1700. 

d. An employee whose normal shift ends after 1500, as an 

established tour of duty or as a rotational assignment, needs to make special 

arrangements prior to flexing in early but flexing in up to one hour late will be 

permitted with supervisory coordination as outlined in paragraph (I) above. 

2. Immediately upon an unscheduled late arrival, employees will report or 

otherwise make contact with their supervisor so the time of arrival can be 

documented and quitting time established, or as appropriate, a charge to leave 

can be determined. If flextime is used, the regular duty day can be extended up 

to two hours resulting in a quitting time not to exceed 1700. 

3. If there are any adverse impacts to the Agency's ability to complete the 

mission successfully or for reasons of personal abuse by an employee or for 

reasons of other mission compromise, management retains the right to curtail the 

use of flextime for individuals, groups, sections or the entire organization as 

needed. The Union will be notified of these changes if they become necessary. 

The Union will be notified if management restricts an employee's ability to make 

use of flex time. Employees will be considered for inclusion in flextime once the 

issue has been resolved. 

4. The negotiated language in the collective bargaining agreements states 

management reserves the right to determine who can participate in flextime. 

Based on mission requirements, employees assigned to late duty hours in 

support of transportation, out loading or other operations, may be somewhat 
'restricted from participating in flextime but not completely prohibited. Any 

employee on a ~ersonal accommodation for s~ecial work hours mav have 

pahicipation in flextim6 restricted. 

a. Employees who are on a documented Performance Improvement 

Plan (PIP) are not eligible to participate in flextime. 

b. Employees are ineligible for flextime during the period they are 

under the requirements of a'letter of instruction for restrictions on leave use. 

c. Employees who have received formal discipline in the past 12 

months for attendance related misconduct are also not permitted to use flextime. 

5. Employees are typically expected to begin their shift at their normally 

scheduled start time. Flex time is an enhancement to the existing hours of work.
