Summary
Part-Time Career Opportunity Act - Sets forth a time schedule for the required introduction of part-time jobs in each grade in each Federal agency, at a rate of two percent each year for five years. Authorizes the Civil Service Commission to waive or reduce any such percentage minimum for a period not to exceed one year under specified circumstances. Deems such a decision a final agency action for judicial review purposes. Declares the provisions of this Act to be inapplicable to situations where a collective bargaining agreement is in effect which establishes the number of hours of employment in a week.
