Considerations 
Is the programme cost effective?
Flexi-time is usually relatively low cost to introduce, especially if the organisation has a time tracking system in place. There are no long term costs for the organisation as the only costs occurred as direct administrative costs such as: costs of tracking hours worked and costs of establishing the programme. These costs are usually absorbed by the organisation and not passed down to the employees.
Some examples of time tracking systems include specialised IT infrastructure such as a customised time management system or a punch card reader (high cost), moderate cost third party web based tools and low cost methods such as sign in/out sheets which require more time to administer and process.
It may also be useful to conduct a projected cost-benefit analysis to see if introducing the flexi-time programme is a cost effective initiative.
