when a employee works a full number of hours in less than the standard number of days

for example : an employees may work four(ten)- hours days and then enjoy a long weekend instead of working five8-hours days with a traditional weekend. there are the obvious advantages of working only four days and having three days off .

A compressed work week is a work schedule condensing the standard full-time work week into fewer than five full days. It gives employees more control over their work schedules and, by so doing, improves their morale and motivates them to improve the performance of their work units. It is a voluntary arrangement that some employers offer and policies vary by employer.

The alternative weeks in case of the work weeks are different than the standard ones..

A compressed work week is a useful flexible work arrangement that can help free up valuable time for family and life demands while minimizing workplace disruptions.
