Sec. 6122. Flexible schedules; agencies authorized to use

    (a) Notwithstanding section 6101 of this title, each agency may 
establish, in accordance with this subchapter, programs which allow the 
use of flexible schedules which include--
        (1) designated hours and days during which an employee on such a 
    schedule must be present for work; and
        (2) designated hours during which an employee on such a schedule 
    may elect the time of such employee's arrival at and departure from 
    work, solely for such purpose or, if and to the extent permitted, 
    for the purpose of accumulating credit hours to reduce the length of 
    the workweek or another workday.

An election by an employee referred to in paragraph (2) shall be subject 
to limitations generally prescribed to ensure that the duties and 
requirements of the employee's position are fulfilled.
    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, but 
subject to the terms of any written agreement referred to in section 
6130(a) of this title, if the head of an agency determines that any 
organization within the agency which is participating in a program under 
subsection (a) is being substantially disrupted in carrying out its 
functions or is incurring additional costs because of such 
participation, such agency head may--
        (1) restrict the employees' choice of arrival and departure 
    time,
        (2) restrict the use of credit hours, or
        (3) exclude from such program any employee or group of 
    employees.
