Hi. I have [STRIKE]an[/STRIKE] a question. Please answer it. Can we use "flextime" before "worker"? :-?

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Please see the corrections I have made to your post. It is very important to use punctuation and capitalisation when you write in English. Can you see why your post is easier to read now that I have corrected it?

Please write a complete sentence with "flextime" before "worker" and we will comment.

Note the correct spelling of gramma​r.

Remember to capitalise the word "I" every time you write it. Also, put a space after a full stop, comma, question mark or exclamation mark.

In BrE, the word is "flexitime" or "flexi".

There are 20 flexi/flexitime workers in my company.

If you can find a variant in which "flextime" is correct, then you can use it in that variant. It's "flexitime" in BrE. You forgot to put a space after a full stop again. Also, you should have said "Then this sentence is correct", not "true".

It's "flextime" in AmE. And yes, we can say "flextime worker."

But you can certainly remember to capitalize "I" every time you use it.

Leave a space after your punctuation marks. Like this.

sanaz1373, clicking on the 'Thank' button can obviate the need for a new post saying 'Thank you', such is one of the many unwritten rules on this forum.
