flexible schedule
Variable work hours
A flexible schedule is a work arrangement that allows variation in start times, end times, or total hours rather than fixed nine-to-five requirements.
The flexibility might mean choosing when to work, working remotely, or compressing hours into fewer days: My flexible schedule lets me pick up the kids from school.
The term appears frequently in job listings as a benefit.
