Telework - Flexible Work Arrangements
Flexible work arrangements include telecommuting, flexible work hours (flex time), compressed work week, and staggered shifts.
- Telework— see the Telework information above.
- Flexible work hours can shift some travel to less congested, non-peak commute times. This means that employees are allowed some flexibility in their daily work schedules. For example, rather than all employees working 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., some work 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and others 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
- Compressed Work Week (CWW) means that employees work fewer but longer days such as four 10-hour days each week (4/40), or 9-hour days with one day off every two weeks (9/80).
- Flextime and Compressed Work Week are usually implemented as an employee and manager option (both employees and their managers must agree). They may vary from day-to-day or week-to-week, and are typically implemented as part of a Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) program.
