One week of six (6) night shifts (1900-0100) may be scheduled quarterly. Any changes in the schedule shall be coordinated between the HCW and the Government. Work hours can be flexible so that if work requirements are greater than forty (40) hours in a given week, they will be adjusted to ensure performance of no more than one hundred ten hours (110) hours in a two-week period/pay-cycle per FTE.
