RDO is also an acronym for Regular Day Off used in conjunction with Compressed Work Schedules (CWS) by US Government employees. Work schedules are compressed into two weeks cycles comprised of 80 hours. Employees who participate in this schedule work 9 hour shifts for 8 of those days, one day is an 8 hour shift and another day is the RDO. For example, in week one, the employee works 9 hours Monday through Thursday, 8 hours Friday. In week two, the employee works 9 hours Monday - Thursday and has Friday off. This still allows for a full 80 hour pay cycle.
