flexible work
Non-rigid employment arrangements
Flexible work is employment that departs from the traditional fixed schedule and location—nine to five, Monday through Friday, at the office.
It encompasses remote work, compressed workweeks, job sharing, and adjustable hours.
The arrangement typically requires negotiation between employer and employee: She asked about flexible work options during the interview.
The term gained currency as technology made location-independent work feasible.
