Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Julia's ability to work from home on Mondays and Fridays indicates that her company allows telecommuting, which means working from a remote location instead of being in the office. Flextime schedules refer to the ability to set your own work schedule within certain parameters, job sharing involves multiple employees sharing one job, and permanent part-time schedules refer to working less than full-time hours on a regular basis. None of these options are mentioned in the scenario, making telecommuting the best choice.
