Summary

Flexible Hours Employment Act - Declares that it is the policy of the United States Government that, unless adjudged impossible by the Secretary of Labor, at least 2 percent of the positions at each and all levels in all executive agencies shall be available on a flexible hours employment basis for persons who cannot work or do not desire to work full time within one year after the date of enactment of this Act, 4 percent within two years, 6 percent within three years, 8 percent within four years, and 10 percent within five years. Requires the Secretary to report annually to the Congress on the procedures, activities, projects, and other efforts undertaken to carry out this policy. Provides that no person who is otherwise qualified for fulltime Federal employment shall be required to accept flexible hour employment as a condition of new or continued employment. Provides that all persons employed in flexible hours employment positions pursuant to the policy established by this Act shall receive, on a pro rata basis, all benefits normally available to full-time employees of all executive agencies in similar position or grade.
