Frequently Asked
Questions about FlexTime
With employees on flextime, everyone will be coming and going
at different times.
How will we be able to get the work done?
The business needs of the work group are primary.
Employees who complete the FWA Proposal Form should
understand and support this priority.
No arrangement should be approved that will keep work
from getting done.
In practice, most employees do not vary their schedules
much when offered the opportunity to do so. A manager can limit
the amount of day-to-day flexibility of an individual or group
if it becomes too disruptive.
Will
managers have to work longer hours to supervise everyone?
No.
Managers should think of themselves more as coaches than
overseers.
They should be encouraged to delegate or rotate some of
their responsibility and present themselves as a resource for
their employees.
How should a manager address employees who come in late or
leave early and dont make up the time?
Flextime is not an entitlement.
If employees abuse the system, a manager should counsel
them.
If the abuse continues, a manager can require that the
employees return to a standard schedule.
Because most employees on flextime come in earlier and leave
earlier, how will we be able to provide coverage during the late
afternoon hours?
If everyone wants to flex at the same time and business
needs will not allow it, the schedules must be revised to assure
coverage.
Ask the employees who want the new schedules to develop a
solution that addresses coverage. |
