Which arrangement involves two people sharing one full-time position and splitting salary and benefits according to contributions?

• A. Flextime
• B. Leaves of absence
• C. Job sharing
• D. Compressed workweek

Answer: (C)

The concept tested is two people sharing one full-time position by dividing the work and the compensation. This arrangement is called job sharing: two employees jointly fill a single full-time role, each contributing part of the hours and responsibilities, with salary and benefits allocated according to their contributions or agreed proportions. It allows continuous coverage and flexibility for the workers while keeping the position as a full-time job for the organization. Flextime focuses on flexible start and end times for one person, not on two people sharing a single role. Leaves of absence involve taking time off from work. A compressed workweek changes how the hours are scheduled (fewer days with longer hours) but still typically involves one person in the role, not two sharing it.
