Alternative Work Week
An alternative work week enables employees to integrate their work and personal lives more effectively and better manage issues such as commuting, continuing education, care-giving, child care, and other external obligations. JCSD is on a 9/80 schedule, which enables employees to complete working 80 hours over nine days, therefore, taking what would have been the 10th work day as a day off (every other Friday).
