History for Job Sharing Plan (history as of 08/26/2014 13:19:01)

Job sharing is basically a form of part-time work that provides the equivalent of one full-time employee while giving the job sharing employees the ability to keep their careers on track while allowing more time for family responsibilities or other activities. The key to making the strategy work is a willingness to understand the needs of staff and for the participating employees to be organized. Work patterns need to be plotted, and communication between the employees sharing the job and other staff members must be better than average.

In establishing a company's personnel policies, whether they are set out in a formal employee manual or created on a case-by-case basis, it is important not to be arbitrary in accommodating employees. Doing so will lead to poor morale over perceived unfairness; worse, it could open a company to lawsuits.
