The number of companies offering flexible work schedules has increased as companies try to help employees cope

Question:

However, a big obstacle to flextime schedules for workers paid hourly is state legislation on overtime. A survey provided the following information for 220 firms located in two cities in California.

Flextime Schedule City Available Not Available Total 75 39 114 25 81 106 Totals 64 156 220
