i’m working for a design firm and we have summer hours which are 1/2 day fridays. checking around to find out if other companies give employees summer hours and if so how it works (i.e. make up the time mon - thurs?)… thanks.

Keeping in mind that it’s really more an issue with slower production in the summer, my company closes at 2:30 PM on Fridays, but we come in at 7:30 instead of 8 Tuesday through Friday to make up for it. This goes Memorial Day to Labor Day.

where is the option to select “no special hours in summertime”?

Guess I’ve always lucked out in this department. During final negotiations, I’ve always insisted that I be given 2-3 hour “lunches” so i could go bicycle training during the middle of the day. I’m always one of the first through the door in the mornings, and I generally stay late. Also, my evenings are generally filled with Skype calls overseas.

I think the bottom line is a happy employee is a good employee. Life is much less stressful if I can get my training done during the day, then if things come up later in the day, I don’t get all flipped out.
