Abstract
The Guide to Developing Balanced Working Time Arrangements is a practical guide or “how to” manual on working time arrangements (also known as “work schedules”) for the ILO’s constituents – employers, workers, and governments. This guide or manual is designed to assist organizations, both private and public, to make informed decisions regarding how to structure working time arrangements in a “balanced” manner for the mutual benefit of both workers and enterprises. It provides a set of guiding principles for developing balanced working time arrangements; some practical tips regarding how to structure various types of working time arrangements; and a step-by-step process that can be used for designing and implementing new and improved working time arrangements.
