Alternative Work Hours
Staggered hours- Shifts are staggered to minimize the number
of employees arriving and leaving a worksite at one time. For
example, some shifts may be 8:00 to 4:30, others 8:30 to 5:00.
Flexi time Employees are permitted some flexibility in their
daily work schedules. For example, rather than all employees
working 8:00 to 4:30, some might work 7:30 to 4:00.
Compressed workweek- Term used when employees work
fewer but longer days, such as four 10-hour days each week
