[Question] If I represent several employees in their EEO complaints, can my supervisor limit my involvement in providing services? [Answer] 
EEOC regulations consider it reasonable for supervisors to expect their employees to spend most of their time doing the work for which they are employed. Therefore, supervisors may restrict the overall hours of official time afforded to you as a representative, for both preparation purposes and for attendance at meetings and hearings, to a certain percentage of your duty hours in any given month, quarter or year. The restrictions would depend on the nature of the position you occupy, the relationship of that position to the mission of the organization, and the degree of hardship imposed on the mission of the organization by your absence from your normal duties. Again, the amount of official time to be afforded to an employee for representation activities will vary with the circumstances.
