Like other employers <br /> in the RTP area, Orange County is making this change <br /> to accommodate the increase in the number of non- <br /> traditional families. <br /> Article III, 1 . 3 The establishment of a "Flex-time" option in the <br /> County will allow Department Heads to be able to <br /> respond to employees special needs for alternative <br /> work schedules. <br />
