AL 2. (Not Al 3), if that matters to anyone.

The new ALJ contract makes these jobs really undesirable when it comes to work life balance. Especially If you are already at top pay as an ALJ

Probably the max-flex terms available to line ALJs.

what are the new max flex terms? The flexible work schedule is the biggest. Old contract. You worked an 8 hour day between 6:30am and 6pm, M-F If you put in 8 1/2 hours you had to enter 30 as credit (or in some cases religious comp earned). If you worked 7 1/2 you had to do a 30 minute leave slip.(alternate schedules for four 10s or 8 days of 9 hours, one 8 hour day and one weekday off were available but had to lock in). New contract. You put in 80 hours a pay period on Mondays through Friday between 5am and 10pm working no more than 12 hours in a day. If you work 8 1/2 on Monday to start the pay period and 7 1/2 on Tuesday you just enter the time and need to work another 64 during the pay period. |

Which contract are you referring to? A contract that applies to all ALJs, only OMHA, or only SSA?

I could be totally wrong here, but I think some apples and oranges are being mixed up here.
This is a DCALJ position with OMHA. I don’t think any contract is applicable. OMHA judges, unless I missed it, are supervisory ALJs and are prohibited (not exactly sure why) from union participation.
Am I missing it?

You're not missing it, the thread just got a little off topic. |

Multiple locations are offered because it appears the Deputy can work from any of the existing OMHA offices, versus having to relocate to DC. That is at least my understanding. |

Being an SSA ALJ is unlike any other legal job I've had. There is actually an ALJ judge-only union. AND it has been a necessary and good thing. They are referring to the collective bargaining agreement between the agency and the judge union. (Writers have their own union and the rest of the staff (non-management) has its own.)

Not exactly true. For example, OMHA ALJs (and many others) are Supervisory ALJs. As such, they are prohibited (to my knowledge) from union participation.

OMHA ALJs are not part of a union and are considered management at OMHA.
