Flexible working is a constantly changing list of working with a prescribed working time example of hours between 9:00 and 17:00. Types of flexible time work include job sharing, part-time, compressed hours, flexible hours, annualized hours and staggered hours. According to Cherlin 2002, the concept of flexible working hours is to help staff make better use of working time so that they can work full time, but not necessarily in the office within official working hours. Job sharing is a job done by two workers to solve a dividing time in a day, for example two assistants are given a week to complete a company's account and once the task is completed, the salary will also be assigned. Part-time is a schedule given to staff by the employer with the right to choose the working hours that best suit them. Part-time hours are usually a minimum of 4 hours and the rest depends on the employee's abilities. Among these, for example, there is work as a real estate marketing manager, insurance manager and others in which they will take the right time to carry out design activities because this job also includes a preliminary commission. There is also a part-time job with salary paid based on the total work done in a month, for example, sales assistant in a hypermarket. The reduced hours are those of international companies that are famous but carry out their business in Malaysia. The workers who work in this company will work full time but in a few days only in a week for most of these companies that carry out business according to the national time. For example, the business analysis system that had working hours for 4 nights only in a week because business activities were actively carried out abroad at that time. An example of a company is the Chinese one... middle of paper..., it can put extreme pressure on the staff because the employees also not only have stress problems at work, but also other problems such as family problems, finance and more Still. Researchers believe that flexible working with better hours improves employee morale and at the same time can reduce the number of employee absences and the use of overtime (Nadler et al. 2005). Balancing results between work responsibilities and family is part of job satisfaction. The employer should encourage policies that can help workers, especially women, better balance work and family responsibilities. Therefore, the responsibility of employees towards families becomes very important. The flexitime method could have a great effect on employees' satisfaction in their daily lives. The use of the flexible working time method should encourage employers, both public and private, to obtain a productive workforce.
