Work-Life Balance
ConocoPhillips publishes a corporate "U.S. Work Schedules Frequently Asked Questions" document detailing the 9/80 program and its interaction with vacation, holidays and overtime rules. Verbatim from the company's spiritnow Hybrid Office Work article: "The program is designed around the company's existing flexible work schedules, with 9/80, 19/30 and other local flexible schedules remaining in place."
Under the 9/80, an eligible employee works eight nine-hour days and one eight-hour day across two weeks, with every other Friday off. Employees on the 9/80 record 9 hours of vacation for Monday-Thursday days off, and 8 hours for the working Friday.
