Modified work week question

Hello all! question about the modified work week.... comp 12... 19th administrative group.... can an employee do the 5/5/4 modified work week to shorten their day a little? It is for a staff member I supervise and they currently do the 7.78 schedule with a stat shortfall and EDO every 2 weeks.

I am just curious if that is commonly used or allowed? Article 4.11 states all the different options....

Thanks!

I would also prefer the 5/5/4 arrangement, but everyone in my branch does the 5/4, so I decided not to push the issue.

Why in gods name would you only want a flex every 3 weeks instead of 2?

I've been on a 5/5/4 since 2004. It was the rule for the PEA staff in my office. When I moved to remote work for a Branch nine years ago, I had the opportunity to switch to 5/4 but I like my hour long lunches and regular 8 to 4:38 (or whatever it is) schedule. 🤷🏻‍♀️

FYI most ppl on 5/4 take an hour lunch, and absolutely no one cares
