job-sharing

Dividing work duties

Job-sharing is an arrangement where two or more employees split the responsibilities of a single full-time position.

Each worker handles part of the hours and duties, sharing the salary proportionally: After her daughter was born, she proposed a job-sharing arrangement with a colleague.

The practice appeals to those seeking work-life balance while maintaining career continuity.
