9/80 Work Schedule

The 9/80 work schedule is a flexible alternative to traditional business hours. It allows employees to work a compressed work week with nine-hour days on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays, followed by an 80-hour weekly period. The days off can be used as sick days or vacation time.

How does a 9/80 schedule work? It involves a nine-hour day, with eighty hours worked in total over four days. This means that employees can have four days off every seven days and still get sixty hours in, which is required by most companies as part of their benefits package. In addition to giving workers more time off, this system also allows them to earn overtime pay at 1 1/2 times their normal rate when they do work ten or more hours per day on any given day; this helps offset some costs associated with providing employees with more time away from the office (such as having fewer people available for meetings).

The benefits of a 9/80 work schedule for employees and employers: 

• this distribution of the work calendar allows employees extra time off without reducing their compensation packages; 
• it helps employers keep costs down by reducing overhead costs related to running businesses (for example: renting out conference rooms for training sessions instead of paying for hotels).
• because there are fewer demands placed upon employees during 9/80 schedules — they are generally not expected to be available 24/7 through email or text messages like they might be if they worked full-time jobs with regular 40-hour weeks;
• there's less stress involved overall which reduces turnover rates due to burnout. 

The 9/80 work schedule is ideal for companies that need to hire more employees but can't afford to hire people full-time. It allows employees who want a more balanced life, and it also benefits employers by boosting morale and employee retention.

While an 80-hour work week schedule may sound like a dream come true for employees, it can be a nightmare for managers who must make sure their teams are productive and motivated.

If you're a business owner looking for ways to improve your employee retention, the 9/80 work schedule can be a beneficial option.This type of arrangement could help reduce employee turnover and allow people who care for children or elderly family members to focus on their work without having to worry about child care or elder care.
