Flextime, Flexplace/Telecommuting, and Jobsharing

  • Flextime is working the same amount of time within a non-traditional work schedule.

  • Flexplace is working the same schedule within a non-traditional work place at least part of the time.

  • Jobsharing is when two employees share one full time position. Each employee is considered regular part time and works 20 or more hours per week.

Alternative Work Schedule Agreement Instructions

An employee and manager must fill out a Voluntary Alternative Work Schedule Agreement form. A copy of the win-win documentation must be attached to the Alternative Work Schedule Agreement form. An employee and manager should each retain a copy of their agreement form and win-win documentation. Completed form must be submitted to the Department of Human Resources at Box 0232.

With final signature from the Department of Human Resources, the Voluntary Alternative Work Schedule Agreement will be filed in the employee’s personnel file. With the final signature, Human Resources will contact the manager. Upon contact, the manager should begin a search for the additional employee who will share the existing full time position with the existing employee; the search process should be conducted through standard procedures of Human Resources. Implementation of Job Sharing is dependent on filling the additional position with a qualified candidate.

Contact Human Resources for Quality of Life consultation and/or facilitation support at 214-768-3311.

Note: Any voluntary alternative work schedule is valid as long as it is approved by the employee’s manager/supervisor and a representative from Human Resources. A Flextime agreement may be terminated at any time by the manager or employee (appropriate paperwork must accompany agreement termination).
