Work-Life Balance
MSU's flexible-work program provides for a genuine compressed work week: "a compressed workweek... allows eligible full-time employees to work longer hours on certain scheduled days and fewer hours, or no hours, on one scheduled day per week." As MSU describes it, "This type of flexwork is often employees working four ten-hour days and having one day off during the workweek." It is a year-round option, subject to operational needs and supervisor approval.
