A brief description of the program:

Flexible Work Options are a valued tool for supporting employee efforts to balance the demands of work and personal life. They can promote productivity and balance by using non-traditional work hours, locations, and/or job structures. Because the University is a decentralized organization with diverse work environments, no one flexible work arrangement can apply, and no practice can be appropriate for all situations. Therefore, information is offered in the form of guidelines rather than policy. However, many Penn workplace environments can utilize at least one flexible work arrangement if the job, person, environment, and work situation are appropriate for the arrangement and recommended protocols are followed. Typical flexible work options are flextime (flexible start, stop and lunch times), flexplace (work away from the office, typically at home), compressed work schedules (compressing standard work week hours into fewer days), and part-time and job sharing assignments (less than full-time work, either for a reduced assignment, or a shared one).
