b.Divided responsibility >>> 2 employees share one full-time position and
divide responsibilities, usually by project or client group. They perform
separate tasks and provide back up for each other when necessary. This is
most suited when the work can be divided according to project or client
group.
c. Unrelated responsibilities >>> 2 employees perform completely different
tasks. But for headcount purposes, they are counted as one position. They
generally work in the same division/department. No back up is required by
either. In essence, these are 2 part-time jobs.
Flexi-hours (start/end times) >>> An arrangement in which employees can
vary their daily start and finish times to suit their work and personal
commitments provided they complete a stipulated number of hours. In most
instances, all employees may be required to be present during certain
“core hours” which are fixed at a period between the latest start time
and earliest end time.
Compressed workweek >>> An arrangement in which an
employee works his/her full-time hours (such as 40 hours) in
fewer than 5 days per week.
Temporary work >>> Short-term employment which can be
informal (as in ‘on or off’ seasonal or casual work) or formal
(involving signed short-term employment contracts).
Temporary workers may work the full, ordinary hours of
employment, but are not normally entitled to many of the
employment benefits. They are paid on an hourly basis,
and their services can be terminated at short notice.
Temporary employment is more suitable for short term
projects or as a relief when staff go on long leave.
