      ab: The effects of a flexible-scheduling program on absenteeism and turnover were assessed over six years. The implementation of this experimental program constituted the basis for a naturally occurring field experiment that is an interrupted time series with pretest measures, intervention removal, and a no-intervention control group design. The results indicate that there are gross reductions in absenteeism with flextime and no changes for the control group. After the program ended, absenteeism immediately returned to base-rate levels. The turnover rate, however, remained unaffected. Despite benefits, the program was not adopted, apparently for logistical and political reasons.
