• Flex Time: A variable work schedule, it provides an alternative to the traditional 9:00 to 5:00.

• Employees like it because they can make their work schedule fit their personal lives a bit better (dealing with their children, college classes, doctor's visits, etc...).

• Employers sometime like it because occasionally they can lower overhead by having employees share work space, can offer more customer service to their clients due to employees being available for a longer window of time.
