The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham. Update text
All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable.
If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.

Staggered Time

What is staggered time and how you can implement it in your organisation.

What Is Staggered Time

Staggered time is an arrangement where employees can vary their start and end times to suit their work and personal commitments.

These flexible bands should at least contain a 2-hour window (e.g. 7am to 10am start time and 4pm to 7pm end time). Typically, there is a core time during which employees must work (e.g. 10am to 4pm).

You need to work out the start and end times of the flexible lunch period, and the maximum and minimum lunch period that can be taken.

Above: Example of a staggered time arrangement

An employee's hours of attendance are recorded and calculated at the end of each settlement period (e.g. a week or a month). In some cases, excess or deficit hours can be carried over to the next accounting period.

How to Determine the Suitability of Staggered Time

To determine the suitability of staggered time in your organisation, you should:

  • Complete our sample checklist on factors to consider for compressed work schedules  (PDF).
  • Obtain management agreement on staggered time (e.g. duration, start and end times, and core time).
  • Identify limitations that may require employees to compromise on their preferred staggered time schedule (e.g. security issues).
If barriers to staggered time cannot be resolved, you may consider other types of flexible work arrangements.

How to Implement Staggered Time Successfully

In addition to the 4-step implementation model, you should:

  • Develop scheduling guidelines and procedures for your employees. You may download our sample guidelines  (PDF) as a reference.
  • Communicate your scheduling guidelines and procedures to employees, including limitations that may compromise their preferred schedules.
  • Implement a 'roster' system that indicates days and times of work for all employees. This is useful for planning and scheduling purposes.
  • Ensure that employees in various teams are aware of employees working non-core hours, if any. This will help each employee manage their workloads and deadlines more effectively.
