employment reform
I know what it means but I just can't think how to phrase it (apart from a literal translation, of course). It's from a legislative decree on employment, talking here about job-sharing:
"Fatte salve diverse intese tra le parti contraenti o previsioni dei contratti o accordi collettivi, i lavoratori hanno la facoltà di determinare discrezionalmente e in qualsiasi momento sostituzioni tra di loro, nonché di modificare consensualmente la collocazione temporale dell’orario di lavoro, nel qual caso il rischio della impossibilità della prestazione per fatti attinenti a uno dei coobbligati o posta in capo all’altro obbligato."

scheduled arrangement
of working hours. A suggestion.
In reality this appears tautological to me and you might leave it out altogether

flexible work schedule / flextime
Or flexible work arrangements.
I think this is the meaning here. In other words, the employee and employer agree on the "temporal" bit, i.e. schedule.
As long as the person does his/her 8 hours, the parties can agree to a 9-5 schedule, or a 12-8 pm, or even a split.
There are many sites with both terms.
The first one uses the term "flextime":
Flextime
Flextime is the most popular flexible work arrangement that requires employees to work a standard number of hours each week but allows them to choose their own starting and quitting times. However, a portion of each day is designated as "core time" when all employees must be present.

Discussion
"L�esercizio da parte del datore di lavoro del potere di variare in aumento la durata della prestazione lavorativa, nonch� di modificare la collocazione temporale della stessa comporta in favore del prestatore di lavoro un preavviso..."
