 Considerations
For the employers
Likewise, there are multiple factors to take into account when developing a flexi-time policy.
A sample Flexi-time Checklist of factors to consider is attached.
Outside the core times, at the beginning or end of each day, are flexible bands when employees may choose whether to be at work. For example:
The total period in which the organisation is in operation is called the bandwidth. Management needs to decide what happens at lunch breaks – start and end times and the maximum and minimum lunch period that can be taken. An employee’s hours of attendance are recorded and added up at the end of each settlement period.
Before implementing flexi-time, employers need to make decisions about the following:
- The core times – usually late morning/mid-day for offices
- The duration of core times – may be adjusted according to demand/peak periods
- The duration of the flexible bands – should not be too different for all employees if there is a lack of supervisors
Employees should also be aware of flexibility limitations such as security issues that may require them to make a compromise on their preferred flexi-time schedule.
If the barriers to flexi-time cannot be resolved, the organisation / employee may consider other types of flexible work arrangements.
