Part Time and Job Sharing. Under the Flexi@MOM Programme, job sharing is implemented as a part time option. Interested staff can apply and MOM will evaluate the requests and adjust the work-load distribution upon approval. Remuneration and benefits are pro-rated according to the number of hours worked. This option was first explored for tasks which could be shared by 2 part-time staff. The take-up rate is limited as the pairs must be handling the same portfolio and there must not be too much handing over of tasks.

MOM’s had facilitated several models of job-share. One example is a pair of part-time staff splitting a work week, with one employee working Mondays to Wednesdays and the other covering the rest of the week. In another example, two customer service officers share the counter customer service duties in a work week. In both cases, the job scope does not require much handing over. However, if one person holds an assignment, he or she is expected to complete it. Rostering and monitoring of duties is handled by their supervisors.
