Abstract: Work schedules are an important component of job quality and a critical link between work and other domains of social life. In this report, we conceptualize the core dimensions that define schedule quality (Part A); evaluate the validity of these dimensions using data from establishment and national surveys (Part B); and offer recommendations for improving measures of work schedules in four federally sponsored surveys to capture the changing nature of work schedules and track progress in reducing inequities in work schedules and job quality more broadly (Part C). With more precise data on how schedules vary, researchers will be in a better position to identify which schedule arrangements matter most for worker health, financial security, job retention, and other outcomes of interest. Such research will in turn give policy makers a clearer picture of how to target scheduling standards or other interventions for greatest impact.
