Flexitime/Flextime

Flexitime (also called flextime in US English) is a type of flexible working where staff decide the hours they work each day, either partly or completely.

Flexitime is different from other flexible working arrangements like compressed hours (where staff work four 10-hour days instead of five eight-hour days), or job sharing.

One of the biggest hurdles managers face when their staff work flexitime is keeping track of the hours they’ve worked. Modern solutions like Time & Attendance software let staff clock in and out of work using their smartphones, automatically recording the hours they’ve put in on an online timesheet, helping them keep track of their day.
