flexible schedules

Non-rigid work hours

Flexible schedules are work arrangements that allow employees to vary their start and end times, or to work from different locations, rather than adhering to fixed hours.

The term usually implies employer accommodation: My company offers flexible schedules for parents.

Flexibility might mean compressed workweeks, remote work options, or simply the freedom to shift hours as needed.
