There are a number of technologies and devices available today that would allow for flexible hours and work week for your employees. One such technology is SIP phone service. SIP is a very stable technology that uses VOIP. This technology allows for a very flexible infrastructure in terms of logistics and physical locations. For example, if you have an employee who is going on maternity leave, or who needs to work from home 3 days a week. With SIP service, this employee can plug their work phone into their home internet connection and send, receive, transfer calls as if they were in the office; everything you can do at the office on the phone, you can do at home with SIP service. Couple this with a VPN connection that allows employees to connect to anything on your office network, and you have a complete office at home.
