This article focuses on a significant and neglected issue - the impact of flexible workhours programs on first-line supervisors. Relevant data come from two sources: a substantial panel of Flexi-Time studies, often with a short time-frame; and "sensing group" meetings with 43 supervisors who had over three years of experience with flexible workhour variants. The data converge to a direct conclusion: Flexi-Time variants have a range of effects on supervision, but these appear within the abilities and tolerances of almost all supervisors, who seem motivated to make any adaptations by the positive features for employees and supervisors of such programs.
