Alfares (2006) asserted that employee scheduling is an important and complex, practical problem, particularly for businesses that operate continuously (e.g., hospitals, airports, train stations, and restaurants).

Flexible Work Arrangements

For employees, job flexibility is important. Many employers offer various flexible work options to meet the needs of their employees. Examples of flexible work options are telecommuting, flextime, voluntary part-time work, particularly job sharing, and compressed work week. Many employees are attracted to these work arrangements.
