Flextime

You get the idea of his approach.

The company worked with FlexiTime.

As long as your hours equal 37.5 each week, 7.5 hours per day on average, it is all good to work any time between 7am and 7pm, so I could do a 10-hour day, then a 5-hour day, as long as it balanced out.

My boss, however, demanded those hours be worked between 9am and 5pm, and if on any day I was to work 15 minutes over that 7.25 hours, then he wanted to be told what I was using that time for and to have his approval first.

And lastly, you mentioned flexible hours?

Yes, flexible hours, or flex time, is a work schedule where employees choose when to start and finish their working day, so long as they complete their total required hours or tasks.

And so, now I work flexible hours, but I'm still required to be in the UK because I have to be in the office sometimes.

Flexible hours 弹性工作时间或者flex time 也是一种在英国和一些英语国家常见的工作模式 在这种模式下 员工可以比较自由地决定每天几点开始工作 几点下班 只要最后能完成要求的总工作时长或者工作任务就可以了 And that's why I suggested a remote job It's a job that allows you to work from anywhere in the world Yeah, I think a remote job would suit me well As I just really want to travel and see the world It's my dream Ah, Becca, I'm sure you will figure something out to make your dreams come true.

And we've

seen that with, you know, FlexiTime.

We found our FlexiTime policy works really well for people.

They actually favour that more than the work from home, which they have as well.

So I think it's been good to see that change and more like a traditional model when I started.
