Question

Dee wants to give Fleesum's employees more freedom to schedule when they begin and end their workdays. Her plan still requires employees to work eight hours per day, but allows them to start as early as 7:00 a.m. or as late as 9:00 a.m., and leave as early as 4:00 p.m. or as late as 6:00 p.m. Her plan also requires all workers to be on the job between 9:00 a.m. and noon, and between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. The type of plan Dee wants to implement is known as a:___________.

A. compressed work day.
B. flextime plan.
C. personal time frame plan.
D. block scheduling plan.

Answer 1

Flextime plan

Step-by-step explanation:

A flextime plan is a way in which the work time of employees is not fixed and is different from the traditional working hours (for example traditional hours of 9am to 5pm).

In this arrangement it is possible to have a full schedule of work in fewer days. It is possible to run 40 hours of work in 4 days rather than the traditional 5 day work week.

Employers leverage on this type of work plan to meet business needs and to maximise changes in work force

The schedule which Dee is suggesting for Fleesum's employees is for them to work work eight hours per day, but allows them to start as early as 7:00 a.m. or as late as 9:00 a.m., and leave as early as 4:00 p.m. or as late as 6:00 p.m. Her plan also requires all workers to be on the job between 9:00 a.m. and noon, and between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Business need will most likely be high between 9am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm.
