About Part-Time Civilian Bargaining Unit CHAPPS
Part-time Civilian Bargaining Unit CHAPPS refers to a system where part-time employees, often called "flexies," temporarily replace full-time employees when they are absent from work for a week. In this scenario, flexies essentially work on behalf of the full-time employee, contributing to the full-time employee's benefits, stipend pay, next year's salary, and current year's salary.
How It Works
When the full-time employee returns after the absence, they will work 10 hours each for their benefits, stipend pay, next year's salary, and current year's salary during the second week. The part-time flexi will receive payment from the full-time worker's salary at a reduced rate to cover 10 hours for their benefits. Contrary to the common belief that employees work 40 hours for pay, this system only allows them to work 10 hours for pay. The primary goal of this system is to ensure continuous operation while managing the workload between full-time and part-time employees.
