Commuting fewer days by implementing compressed work week schedules
What employers can do to implement a compressed work week schedule program for employees:
- Establish program goals and metrics
- Determine how to measure job performance
- Work with employees, payroll staff and labor organizations to develop suitable policies and practices
- Write program policies and procedures for work hours (including core hours and overtime); create forms such as an application and compressed work week schedule agreement between employee and supervisor
- Notify managers and employees about program
- Select and train participants and telework supervisors
- Integrate telework into your organization’s Emergency Management/Business Continuity plan
Compressed work week schedules
With a compressed work week, the total nmber of hours an employee works does not change; only the way his or her hours are scheduled changes. The most typical compressed work week schedules are:
- 4/10s: Forty hours are worked in four 10-hour days
- 9/80s: Eighty hours are worked in eight 9-hour days and one 8-hour day
- 3/12s: Thirty-six hours are worked in three 12-hour days
