You Got Mail,

OR NOT!

YOU'VE GOT MAIL
There’s nothing worse than trying to reach out to one of your family members or friends, but realizing you don’t have their current email, phone, or mailing address. When it comes to our union family, having accurate contact information is just as important.
 
That’s why AFGE members voted at the 2015 National Convention to make January “Data Update Month.” 
 
To kickoff 2018, we’re asking every member of the AFGE family to take a couple minutes to update their contact information so we can mobilize members and spring into action when the time comes.  
 
 
 Don’t delay, visit MY PROFILE on the AFGE website.

QuestionThe Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), states that your time in PAID Leave status counts as “Hours of Work”. So if you have 8 hours of Annual Leave you have a sufficient number of hours to work overtime, or you can work 6 hours (regular time), use 2 hours Leave (annual/credit) and work 2 hours overtime.

REFERENCES:
5CFR 551.401 Hours of Work
5CFR 551.501 Overtime Pay

NOTE: However, you can only work Credit Hours after you have worked an 8 hour day.
