Flextime 1 4e

Posted on  by

Flextime is the most commonly requested, the easiest to manage and the most affordable flexible work option. It offers flexibility in arrival, departure and/or meal times, typically with a designated core-time mid-day during which all staff members are present. The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.4E ED is a new professional ultra-wide-angle lens. Aimed mainly at full-frame DSLR users, but also compatible with DX bodies where it provides a focal range of 42mm, the Nikon 28mm f/1.4 is ideal for professional photojournalists and landscape photographers.

Flextime: What Is It And Should Your Company Use It?

Work/life balance is vital for your employees’ health, happiness, and well-being. And, as many employers are discovering, it’s essential for their productivity as well. That’s why increasingly more managers are offering flextime instead of the strict 9-to-5 workday.

How, exactly, can flextime improve your business? In this article, the productivity experts at Sling show you all the benefits of this unique work schedule.

What Is Flextime?

Flextime is a flexible schedule in which workers can alter workday start and finish times. Employees are still required to work a set number of hours per day (e.g., eight) or per week (e.g., 40), but they are allowed to choose when — within agreed-upon limits — they will clock in and when they will clock out.

How Flextime Works

It’s those “agreed-upon limits” that make flextime unique as a work scheduling practice. If you implement flextime in your business, you might set the following restrictions on when your employees can work:

  • May start work no earlier than 5 a.m.
  • May finish work no later than 9 p.m.

With the above example, an employee could begin work at 5 a.m., work eight hours, and finish at 1 p.m. Or their workday could start at 1 p.m. and end at 9 p.m.

This is fine if employees work autonomously. But if they work together as part of a team, you could run into some problems.

That’s why flextime usually incorporates core time. Core time is set hours when all employees must be present. It’s during this span of time that meetings and collaboration occur between employees working different flexible schedules.

For example, if you used the flextime limits listed above (not earlier than 5 a.m. and not later than 9 p.m.), your core time might be 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

What Are The Benefits Of Flextime?

Flextime

The benefits of flextime are myriad and encompass everything from peak productivity to preferred work habits. Below we’ve listed three basic benefits of incorporating a flextime schedule. Examine the concept of flextime for yourself and we’re sure you’ll add more to this list.

1) Allows For Easier Childcare

Childcare can be one of the biggest headaches for a working parent, especially if their partner is working too. What if there’s a school delay or cancellation?

With flextime, your employee has the option to report to work and leave work later. That makes it easier to deal with changes in their child’s schedule.

2) Allows For Continuing Education

Offering a flextime schedule can transform the idea of continuing education from fantasy to reality.

With a flextime schedule, employees can report to work after their class has finished (say, at noon) and still get a full eight-hour day in. At the other end of the spectrum, they can work a full eight-hour day and still have time to take a class or two in the afternoon.

3) Allows Employees To Avoid Rush Hour

The daily commute can add an hour to your employees’ workday. With rush-hour traffic, that hour can quickly become two (or more).

By offering a flextime work schedule, you give your employees the option to miss the rush hour completely. That gives them more energy for work in the morning and more time with their family at night.

How To Set Up Your Flextime Schedule

The best way to start when implementing a flextime schedule is to establish your core time first. If your team normally works together in the afternoons, you might want a mandatory block of time together after lunch. If your team normally works together in the mornings, that mandatory block of time could be before lunch.

It’s essential to start with your core time first because it dramatically affects the outside limits of when employees can start and finish work.

For example, if you know you want your team to have four hours of core time and your start-work limit is 5 a.m., your core time should begin by 9 a.m. at the latest. This ensures that the early workers are able to leave after eight hours. In this scenario, everyone has to be at work by 9 a.m., but they could start earlier if they so desired.

As you can see, it gets a little complicated if your limits are too widely spaced. Most businesses establish a six-hour core time and then allow employees two hours of flextime on either side.

Make Scheduling Flextime Simple With Sling

When you offer the option of flextime to your employees, you give them a bit of freedom within a very structured system. Ditching the 9-5 — or at least being flexible about when hours are worked — helps your team members feel more in control of their own schedules.

We’re not advocating cutting employee hours down to part-time. Rather, we suggest trying new ways to accumulate 40 hours each week. Here are a few examples of flexible schedules that might work in your business:

  • Four 10-hour days
  • 9-hour shifts Monday through Thursday and a 4-hour shift on Friday
  • 80 hours in 9 days and then the 10th day off
  • 6.5-hour shifts 6 days a week

Flextime is a wonderful incentive for your employees, but it is also a nightmare to schedule. That doesn’t mean you have to chuck the idea completely.

Instead, incorporate a cloud-based employee management app, like Sling, to give you and your employees the ability and freedom to create the schedule that works for your business.

Employees can access Sling anytime from their phones, mobile devices, or desktop computers. They can request time off, find their own substitutes, tweak their schedules to fit their needs, and so much more.

It also gives you, the manager, the ability to track the hours your employees have worked without your physically being there. The power and flexibility that Sling offers make flextime a very real option for businesses large and small.

To All SWS 1/48 Phantom Lovers:
Zoukei-Mura Has the Answer for You!!

The Three Highlights of the 1/48 F-4E Early:

  • 1 Newly-designed molding to fully display the long nose F-4's optimal form!
  • 2 Check out the elongated nose and shape of the fairing for the Vulcan cannon!
  • 3 Choose to build the engine nozzles opened or closed! This is the world's first F-4 kit replicating the inclined pylons!

The special traits of the SWS 1/48 F-4E (Early Production) “Betty Lou”:

There is nothing like the joy of comprehensively exploring the F-4 series with SWS kits. For the long-nose versions, SWS has selected to recreate seven types: E (early and late production), EJ/EJ-Kai, F/F ICE, and G. All subjects are extensively researched on every aspect, including examination of actual aircraft, to even further improve upon the accurate, beautiful form and ease of assembly from the short-nose SWS kits.

The “Betty Lou” F-4E of the 469th TFS, 388th TFW (Serial No. 67-0308)
This F-4E nicknamed “Betty Lou” of the 469th Tactical Fighter Squadron from the 388th Tactical Fighter Wing was deployed to Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base in November 1968. Its “shark mouth” had originally been painted when it was used for crew training by the 40th TFS/33rd TFW stationed at Eglin Air Force Base and the design passed along with the aircraft.

The Differences between the Long-Nose and Short-Nose F-4

  • Engines

    The nozzles are split into two pieces for more depth and realism. They can be built open or closed.
  • Landing Gear

    The 76.2 cm x 29.2 cm front wheels have wide, low-pressure 200 PSI tires with anti-skid brakes.
  • Armament

    M61A1 Vulcan Cannon inside Nose
    The F-4E, the first F-4 in the series to be equipped with a cannon, has a 20mm, six-barreled M61A1 Vulcan cannon mounted under the nose as a fixed armament, with the compact and highly shock-resistant AN/APQ-120 radar as its fire control system (FCS). Be sure to note the shape of the fairing, which may appear simple at first glance but is in fact a complexly-engineered three-dimensional surface.

    Armament on the Fuselage and Under the Wings
    The long-nose type could mount various weapons to the fuselage and underneath the wings, just like the short-nose versions. In addition, long-nose F-4S could mount TER (Triple Ejector Rack) to the internal pylons under the inboard wings, and MER (Multiple Ejector Rack) to the external pylons. In our thorough research for this kit, we newly discovered that when the MER is in use. Inclined pylons tilted outwards are used in order to prevent the weapons from interfering with the landing gear and other areas.
