Which plan allows employees to choose their working hours within defined limits but typically requires core time?

• A. Flextime
• B. Net pay
• C. Leaves of absence
• D. Pension and savings plans

Answer: (A)

Flexible work scheduling is about letting employees shape their hours within set boundaries, while still ensuring essential collaboration. Flextime fits this by letting staff pick their start and end times within a defined range and requiring core time—a block of hours when everyone is expected to be on duty. This guarantees coverage for meetings and teamwork while giving individuals some autonomy over their day.

Other terms refer to pay or benefits rather than scheduling: net pay concerns take-home salary after deductions, leaves of absence means time away from work, and pension and savings plans deal with retirement benefits. None of these address choosing hours or maintaining a common core time.
