Many individuals in society possess great productive potential which goes unrealized because they cannot meet the requirements of a standard workweek. Permanent part-time employment also provides benefits to other individuals in a variety of ways, such as providing older individuals with a gradual transition into retirement, providing employment opportunities to handicapped individuals or others who require a reduced workweek, providing parents opportunities to balance family responsibilities with the need for additional income, providing employment opportunities for women returning to the workforce and assisting students who must finance their own education or vocational training. In view of this, the Broadcasting Board of Governors will operate a part-time career employment program, consistent with the needs of its beneficiaries and its responsibilities. Positions becoming vacant unless excepted as provided by §506.7, will be reviewed to determine the feasibility of converting them to part-time. Among the criteria which may be used when conducting this review are: (a) Mission requirements and occupational mix. (b) Workload fluctuations. (c) Employment ceilings and budgetary considerations. (d) Size of workforce, turnover rate and employment trends. (e) Affirmative action. Position management and other internal reviews may indicate that positions may be either converted from full-time or initially established as part-time positions. Criteria listed above may be used during these reviews. If a decision is made to convert to or to establish a part-time position, regular position management and classification procedures will be followed. A Board-wide plan for promoting part-time employment opportunities will be developed annually by the Office of Personnel after consultation with the operating elements. This plan will establish annual goals and set deadlines for achieving these goals. [44 FR 63098, Nov. 2, 1979, as amended at 51 FR 11015, Apr. 1, 1986] The part-time career employment program will be reviewed through semiannual reports submitted by the Director, Office of Personnel to the Associate Director for Management. Regular employment reports will be used to determine levels of part-time employment. [44 FR 63098, Nov. 2, 1979, as amended at 51 FR 11016, Apr. 1, 1986] When applicants from outside the Federal service are desired, part-time vacancies may be publicized through various recruiting means, such as: (a) Federal Job Information Centers. (b) State Employment Offices. (c) Broadcasting Board of Governors Vacancy Announcements. (d) College and University Placement Offices. The Director of the Board and the Associate Director for Management may except positions from inclusion in this program as necessary to carry out the mission of the Board.
