a flexitime arrangement/system
At one time we spoke about flexitime.
The overwhelming majority of decent employers would introduce flexitime and try to operate flexitime so that it suited married women.
Given the opportunity, half of all men would work flexitime.
As a result, in 1978, a flexitime system for the laboratory was brought in to enable staff to take time off in lieu.
Senior staff do not qualify for overtime, and staff working flexitime do not necessarily attract overtime in any particular week.
I believe that any government promotion of family-friendly working practices such as jobshare, flexitime, home working or term time-only working must take this into account.
We are accordingly seeing the introduction into manufacturing industry of flexitime arrangements along the lines which have become familiar in white-collar employment.
This code makes a number of specific recommendations to do with part-time work, flexitime, personal leave and child facilities.
