flexible hours

Adjustable work times

Flexible hours describes a work arrangement where employees have some control over when they start and end their workday, rather than adhering to fixed times.

The total hours worked may remain constant, but the schedule bends to accommodate personal needs: My job offers flexible hours, so I can drop the kids at school first.

Also called flextime or flex hours.
