Two Women Solve A Problem By Fulfilling One Full-Time Job By SHARON SEXTON PITTSBURGH (UP1) fjorena Marcu and Leslee Fay had a problem common among many women who want to combine family and career. They wanted to go back to work, bul available part-time jobs were unsuitable, and they felt full-time work would have interfered with their family responsibilities. TTieir dilemma may have been common, but (heir solution was riot.

The two women accepted one full-time job and divided the job responsibilities, the a and the children. "So far it has worked well for us," said Ms. Marcu, separated from her husband and mother of a 3-yearild daughter, Amanda. "My daughter appreciates me more now that I'm not around all the time, and I'm out meeting people, learning things. I did volunteer work when I was married, but now I enjoy getting paid." For the past three months the two women have shared a secretarial job at Chatham College, a private, four-year women's college.

They have three separate bosses. Ms. Marcu says they are involved with all types of secretarial work: typing, mailing, just about everything. Both had previous office experience. The two are neighbors in Pittsburgh's Ml.

Washington section. They were approached about the job sharing idea by a Chatham administrator who knew they were looking, for work. "Leslee works three days one week, and I work two. The next week we switch. On the days I don't work I take care of the children and vice versa," Ms.

Marcu said. "We keep a daily journal of things we think the other should know and, so far, we haven't had any problems with one picking up where (he other left off." One of their bosses agreed. Peggy Donaldson, director of Community Services at Chatham, said: "It's sort of a surprise every day. They don't tire of us and we don't tire of them. They're very atuned to each other, sometimes one has even left something in the typewriter for the other to finish the fallowing day.

don't know why it isn't done more, it's so obvious that it's a satisfactory solution to many people's problems," Both women agreed the child care aspect of their arrangement has worked as successfully as the job sharing! "As a matter of fact, it's worked out way beyond my expectations," said Leslee Fay, 33, also separated from her husband. She is the mother of two, Terry, 8, and Elizabeth, 5. "I had anticipated having problems taking care of another person's child, but I haven't had any problems with Mandy Mandy is sort of a part of my family now. She is treated not like a guest, bul like a member ol the family." Ms. Marcu said their arrangement is more economical than a babysitter or day care center would have been.

"It would have cost at least $50 a week to have the kids taken care of when I wasn't here," Ms. Fay said. "That's $250 a month on babysitting out of $500 and you're only bringing home $400 of that. It seemed insane." The. women split their pay down the middle.

They agree that causes no problems. What may present a problem, however, is their being paid on an hourly basis. They do not receive the insurance and retirement benefits of full-time workers. "That's where a lot of work has to be done," said gms. Donaldson.

"For a woman whose husband works and has insurance, it's not that impor tant. Bul for single, divorced or widowed women, it is very important. That's the next step we'll have to work out:" The idea of job sharing has not been widely accepted either in industry or the more flexible atmosphere of a college or a university; Chatham is only using the arrangement in the case of Ms. Mai.cu aid Ms. Fay.

It has no immediate plans to expand the experiment. At TSO, we care how you look at and how life looks at you. tycwL-nr, like necklaces mid watches is fashion item.
