What does RDO mean in US GOVERNMENT

A Regular Day Off (RDO) is an arrangement that allows employees to take one day off from their regular work schedule per week or fortnight, usually on the same day. RDOs are often used as part of a flexible working arrangement to help employees balance their work and personal commitments.

The frequency of a Regular Day Off varies from workplace to workplace. Generally, RDOs are taken once a week or fortnight depending on the employee's preference or the employer's policy.

Typically, taking an RDO is not mandatory unless it is stated in your employment contract or your workplace has made it compulsory for you to do so.

If you would prefer to take annual leave instead of your regularly scheduled RDO, this can generally be arranged with approval from your employer. However, employers may also decide that all employees must take their RDO in order for other staff members to enjoy the same benefits.

Generally, unused Regular Days Off cannot be carried over from one period to the next. It's important to use them or lose them during the current period they have been allocated for.

Yes; every employer will have different policies regarding RDOs so make sure you check with your manager to ensure you fully understand their requirements before taking any time off from work.

Your employer may allow flexibility in when you take your Regular Day Off if you need to work that day due to unforeseen circumstances or staffing shortages at short notice. However, it's important that such requests are discussed and approved beforehand by both yourself and your manager.
