Flexible Hours (Flextime)

An arrangement that lets employees choose when they start and finish work, within some limits.

Flextime lets you shape your working day around your life rather than fixed 9-to-5 hours — starting early, taking a long midday break, or working when you focus best. It pairs naturally with async and remote work.

Fully flexible roles measure output rather than hours online. Look for language like "flexible hours" or "results-focused" in a listing, and confirm whether any core overlap hours still apply.
