What employees are entitled to fitness or exercise programs while on duty?
Directors Order No. 100 establishes policy for all Service law enforcement officers, including special agents in the Office of Law Enforcement and refuge officers in the Division of Refuges who are required to participate in physical training (conditioning). The Service provides 3 hours per week of official duty time to participate in health and fitness activities to assist law enforcement officers in meeting mandatory physical training (conditioning) requirements and annual fitness assessments. Scheduled fitness participation during duty hours must be scheduled in reasonable blocks of time when possible, may not interfere with job performance, and may not be carried over from one week to the next if unused.
