Flextime
Flextime generally refers to an arrangement in which the employer allows employees to work their regular number of required hours but allows the employee flexibility to start and end work within an approved period of time.
Compressed Work Week
Defined as an option to work more hours per day but fewer days within a one or two week period, compressed work week variations include 9/80, 4/40, and 3/36. Compressed -- or alternate -- work schedules offer many benefits to both employers and employees.
