The policy now warrants as long as we continue to observe class schedules from Monday to Friday and until future changes might occur wherein the Management would deem it necessary that classes will be from Mondays to Saturdays”

III. DISCUSSIONS

According to Shin and Dicker (2008)

- eight hours a day and compressed

workweek (CWW) are forms of shiftwork.

III. DISCUSSIONS

CWW is one strategy in saving cost (e.g. operation) – Crosby, Richardson & Nowicki, (2008)CWW gives more time for home life while giving same amount of work hours at work and also saving money on fare on the part of the employee. On the part of the employer, saving on cost and increase employees performance are the main benefit in implementing the work scheme. They save on the budget by lowering its operational costs, while improving employee attendance.

Alfares (August, 2006)- Employee Scheduling is one problem in CWW if the company operates 24/7
