Types of Schedule

Fixed Schedule
With a fixed schedule, employees start and leave work at the same time every day.
A common fixed schedule is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday.
A fixed schedule makes it easy for employers to keep track of what employees are doing.
Flexible Schedule
A flexible schedule allows employees to change their schedules depending on their needs.
For example, an employee may work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday and Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on other work days.
With a flexible schedule, employees may have different working hours.
So it may be difficult for employers to organize work among their employees.

Full-time Work Schedule
In a full-time job, employees usually have the same working hours each week.
For instance, many full-time employees work 35 to 40 hours per week.

In a part-time job, employees can have a shorter working week than full-time employees.
For example, a part-time employee may work less than 30 hours a week.
Many restaurant waiters work part-time.
