The practice of working longer hours on certain days to obtain additional days off, with 9/80 or 4/10 schedules being common, is called what?

• A. Flexible Days
• B. Flexible Hours
• C. Tele-commuting
• D. Job Sharing

Answer: (A)

This is about scheduling your week to gain extra days off by concentrating your hours into longer days. Patterns like 9/80 or 4/10 are compressed workweeks: you put in longer hours on the designated days, which lets you take a full extra day off during the two-week period. The idea centers on which days you work and how many hours you log on those days, rather than changing when you start or finish each day or working remotely, or dividing the job between two people. Flexible Days fits because it signals adjusting which days you work longer to create additional days off. Flexible Hours would focus on varying daily times but not necessarily earning extra days off. Tele-commuting describes remote work, not the on-site schedule. Job Sharing involves two people sharing one full-time role.
