This alternative work arrangement, flexible scheduling, allows an employee to work a non-traditional schedule to meet personal needs. Generally, a flexible schedule is agreed to and worked for a period of time.
Some employers do, however, allow employees to shift schedules daily as personal needs require.
An example is 4 ten hour days. Each individual can then pick an arrival and departure time, for a total of 8 hours of work per day, which meets his or her needs and includes the core hours. See our sample Flex-Time Policy for additional information.
