Job Sharing

Two employees sharing the responsibilities of one full-time position.

Full Definition

Job sharing is a flexible working arrangement in which two employees share the responsibilities, hours, and pay of one full-time position. Each job sharer typically works part-time hours (e.g. 2.5 days each) and is responsible for ensuring effective handover and communication. Job sharing enables organizations to retain talented employees who cannot work full-time — for example, those with caring responsibilities or health conditions. HR software manages job share arrangements, splits hours, and pro-rates leave entitlements.
