A structured work schedule generally starts and ends at the same times each day, with employees working uniform hours on every shift. Flexible hours can vary, giving employees more freedom to begin and end work shifts at different times every day. Small-business owners have different outcomes to consider when choosing to use structured or flexible hours for employees.

Flexible schedule is a broad term that encompasses a lot of different workplace flexibility options. Flexible schedules can mean exactly that you are allowed to set your own schedule or hours. Or it can be a specific schedule that is considered flexible compared to traditional office hours.

A very common and understandable concern. While this may have been somewhat true years ago at the beginning of the flexible job trend, salaries have pretty much caught up for telecommuting or flexible jobs. Salaries, whether hourly or yearly, are comparable to traditional jobs, and many flexible jobs offer benefits. For benefits, the exception may be with freelance jobs, in which the worker is considered self employed or an independent contractor responsible for his or her own benefits. But overall, we find that salaries for flexible jobs are competitive with traditional jobs.

People are naturally (and rightfully) skeptical when it comes to jobs that say you can work from home. But yes, there are actually thousands of legitimate, professional-level telecommuting jobs available in a huge variety of career categories.
