Traditionally, there are different types of flexible scheduling that companies may consider for their workers to use. Common types include:
-Flex/Alternative Work Schedule: A flex or alternative work schedule allows employees to vary start and end times on a weekly or daily basis. This, however, does not alter the total number of hours worked per week.
-Compressed Work Week: A compressed work week allows for an employee to work a 40-hour workweek but in less than the typical five workdays. For example, this can be four ten-hour work days.
-Flexplace/Telecommute: A flexplace or telecommute arrangement allows an employee to work remotely.
