job sharing

Divided work arrangement

Job sharing is an arrangement where two or more employees divide the responsibilities of a single full-time position, each working part-time hours.

The arrangement allows workers to maintain careers while accommodating other obligations: After the baby came, she found a colleague willing to job share.

The hyphenated form job-sharing typically functions as an adjective: a job-sharing arrangement.
