Job sharing means that two (or more) workers share the duties of one full-time
job, each working part-time, or two or more workers who have unrelated parttime
assignments share the same budget line. The benefit of job sharing for
individuals with disabilities is that both parties may not have the strength,
endurance, or stamina to work full-time, but can work part-time. This model
provides more options for a variety of jobs and allows them to obtain
employment. Additional benefits of job sharing are said to include increased
morale and productivity. Job sharing can also be an attractive way to recruit new
employees and retain current ones. In order for job sharing to be successful,
however, both individuals must be able to handle the position as efficiently as one
person. These individuals are paid by the community business and receive wages
and compensation, as do all the employees.
