Flextime is an arrangement that allows an employee to alter the start and end times of her/his work day around the normal schedule of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm (Riverside, 2016). Employees like flex time because this gives them the option of making their own schedule regularly. Allowing workers to have some control over when they work and how they work gives them freedom and a sense of trust (Abry, 2014). The companies who offer flex time have seen a decrease in the amount of trades. “Flextime reduces absenteeism and not only help reduce such direct costs, but by providing employees with greater control of their lives, increase motivation and commitment, providing many indirect benefits for the organization (Nayab, 2011)”. Companies like Google have flex time and childcare at the workplace. Making the employees feel supported by their employer makes them want to come to work and most importantly on time (Googler,
