Job sharing is when two employees share one full-time job. In this case, Anne and Martha are sharing the position of accountant supervisor, with Anne working the morning shift and Martha working the afternoon shift. This allows the company to have coverage for the position for the whole day, while also allowing both employees to have a more flexible work schedule. The other options listed (flextime, telecommuting, work sharing, compressed workweek) do not involve two employees sharing one full-time position.
