Meaning & Definition

What is the 9/80 Work Schedule

The 9/80 work schedule is a type of compressed workweek arrangement where employees work nine hours a day for the first eight days of two weeks and have one day off, followed by a standard eight-hour workday on the ninth day. This schedule allows employees to work 80 hours in two weeks while enjoying an extra day off every other week. It can enhance work-life balance, reduce commuting time, and provide longer uninterrupted periods for focused work.
