Flexitime, flexi time or flexi-time?

[robino]

I thought the sensible way to find out would be to google - ha! First 3 results all from the NHS, all written differently

Clearly the sensible solution is to ask you lot instead . So, MN pedants... is it flexitime, flexi time or flexi-time?

US version: flexitime
UK version: flexi-time. The general rule for combining two words is to hyphenate, e.g. step-mother. Sometimes a combination of words will become one word and then the hyphen is no longer used, but in general - and if in doubt - hyphenate.

Thank you comtessa. I suspected as much but knew someone would be able to confirm.

You're welcome, happy to air my inner pedant :)

There are many "style guides" on the web.

The NHS has published several, including this one:
