What Do We Mean By Flextime

Many women with school-aged children have complained about the difficulty of finding flexible and interesting work. I decided to see just what they were facing. And the answer is…it depends.

Flextime includes part-time, compressed work week, telecommuting, break arrangements, shift flexibility, job sharing, part-year work or alternate or flex schedules. A less prevalent form is the automatic phase-back program that allows new moms to transition back to work on a temporary part-time schedule.
