self-scheduling
Choosing your hours
Self-scheduling is a system where workers choose their own shifts rather than having them assigned by management.
Common in healthcare, retail, and gig work, it gives employees flexibility while ensuring coverage: The hospital moved to self-scheduling, and nurses now pick shifts that fit their lives.
The term also applies to students selecting their own class times or anyone setting their own calendar.
