D. this system will increase absenteeism.

There is a one-hour window of opportunity to talk with employees on the West Coast, who work 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

Flex time is the time that the company or the organisation offers to some of the employees of the organisation which is not the same as the regular working time of the other organisations. These employees who work for flex time sometimes pose to be a problem for the company.

Because of the organisation flex time that has been offered by the organisation to Tony, this will pose a disadvantage and a problem to the company. Tony will not be able to talk in the one hour window talking like the other employees of the company.
