Legal Definitions - flextime

Definition: Flextime is a type of work schedule that allows employees to have control over their work hours, as long as they complete the required number of hours within a specific period, usually a week.

For example, an employee may choose to start work at 7:00 am and finish at 3:00 pm instead of the traditional 9:00 am to 5:00 pm schedule. Alternatively, they may choose to work longer hours on some days and shorter hours on others, as long as they meet their weekly work requirements.

Flextime is beneficial for both employees and employers. Employees can better manage their work-life balance, while employers can benefit from increased productivity and employee satisfaction.
