Work Schedule AlternativesDifferent types of work schedules have been developed to promote a work-life balance. The typical work week for most employees is five days per week and eight hours per day. Some organizations have implemented compressed work week schedules such as working 10 hour shifts four days per week or even 13 hour shifts three days per week. There are many pluses and minuses to the compressed work week schedule that HR managers should take into consideration. As practical examples, police officers and nurses are known to work a compressed work week. Assignment Expectations
