5.8.8 Flex-time
This is a popular work option that is easy for management to institute and monitor. Flex-time allows for flexibility in starting and quitting time within limits established by management. In most flex-time situations, there is a set amount of hours everyone must work. For example, if the normal hours are 9:00 am–5:00 pm, a flex schedule could be 7:30 am–3:30 pm or 10:00 am–6:00 pm. The total number of hours worked remains the same for other similar positions. Another way that flex-time can be used, which is popular in many accounting firms, is to reduce daily time during slower periods to compensate for the increased hours during busy seasons.
