The Missile Defense Agency makes every effort to elevate the quality of your workday, and make it as satisfying as possible. We also believe in balancing work with personal obligations. To make these happen, we offer a range of federal personnel flexibilities and programs that support employees' physical and emotional well-being. Some examples of these work/life balance programs include:

Telework

The flexibility to balance onsite work with an off-site schedule in various locations either full-time or part-time, upon approval from your supervisor and the Director of Human Resources.

Flexible Hours

Your schedule can include hours that fall outside of the normal 8am-5pm workday, if your supervisor approves.

Leave

Each employee receives ten paid holidays each year and earns four hours of sick leave every two weeks and depending on length of service, between 13-26 days of annual leave. Employees may also receive compensatory time when traveling for official business. Employees have the opportunity to donate a portion of their annual leave to another employee during personal emergencies or to take care of family responsibilities.

Our total compensation package, including excellent salary and comprehensive benefits, will enable you to experience life the way it was meant to be. Combined with a work day minus the stress of a commute measured in hours, or sky-high living expenses that minimize your budget, a career with the MDA can make a significant difference in your lifestyle. Our policies help make the MDA an employer of choice for both a civilian and veteran workforce.
