Alternative
work schedules can reduce congestion by spreading out the daily rush
hour and by eliminating trips to the workplace on some days. They help
to reduce commuter trips along with providing an employee benefit. In
some cases alternative work schedules can be used to extend the business
hours thereby allowing your employer to provide increased services to
customers, clients or the public.
Alternative work schedules include arrangements such as compressed work weeks and staggered work hours. Of course the best work hour arrangements for your employer will depend on the type of business and employees at your site. Before implementing an alternative work schedule program, coordinate with several departments including Human Resources, Payroll and any union groups that may be represented at the worksite.
