Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The work schedule described in the question is a compressed workweek, in which an employee works the same number of hours as a traditional workweek, but over fewer days. In this case, the employee works eighty hours over nine days, rather than ten eight-hour days. The fact that the employee takes one day off every other week indicates that the workweek is compressed into fewer than five days. A flextime arrangement allows employees to have some control over their work hours, while an adaptable schedule may refer to a schedule that can change to accommodate different needs or circumstances. Enriched workweek is not a commonly used term in relation to work schedules.
