Work-Life Benefits
Alternate Work Schedules
Many DOE organizations permit some or all employees to work schedules different from the eight-hours-per-day, 80-hours-per-pay-period standard, including compressed schedules that allow employees to work 80 regular hours in fewer than the 10 working days of a "normal" pay period. Alternative arrangements can assist individuals in caring for children or other dependents, create extra "personal time" to pursue educational or other developmental activities, or help to reduce work-related stress.

Child Care
Some DOE Offices offer on-site facilities where employees can leave their children during working hours. Fees vary by location and a child's age. For more information see
Telework
Teleworking or Flexiplace arrangements allow federal employees to work from home (or at a satellite location close to home) rather than commuting to the office every day. CLICK HERE (go to Work Flexibilities PDF ).
Public Transportation Subsidy
The DOE offers a monthly transit subsidy to all agency employees who use public transportation called the Subsidy for Energy Employee Transit Program. For more information see:
