| Achieving Success on Your Own Terms: The Reduced-Hours Work Arrangement |
|
|
Pitt-Catsouphes: How do you define the term “reduced-load” work?
Lee: Reduced-load work involves employees working less than full-time and being paid accordingly. It is important to understand that the term “reduced-load” refers to an arrangement that it is voluntary; employees aren’t being asked to cut back for the organization’s sake. These employees voluntarily work less and they are being paid less proportionately.
