REVIEW
• Flextime
• Norman work times are 9 am to 5 pm, or 8 am to 5
pm per week. These have been the norm for many
years. Traditional companies are not use to flextime
and therefore they will have to be sold on the idea.
Not all companies are able to allow flextime, but
those who do will usually see fewer turnovers,
• It helps the employee by beating rush hour, carrying
children to school.
REVIEW CONT.
Compressed Work Weeks
• -Four 10 hour days
• -Three 12 hour day
• -Five 9 hour days followed by a week of four 9 hour days.
• Compare and Contrast
• If the company approves your work schedule, it is
always based on coverage and convenience for
the company.
• Flextime time usually works everyday.
• Compressed is usually a short work week.
REVIEW CONT.
• Carpenters have a saying, “Measure twice. Cut once.” This is
certainly true with shift schedules, and especially the shift
length. Employees are frequently hesitant to go to schedules
with longer shifts, but once they get there, they rarely look
back. Shiftwork Solutions can help you find the right shift
length and the best schedule for your operations.
