4 day working week

Apparently the 12 month trial is going very well north of the border. Wonder if the English follow their lead.

 

[Macho]

Would be the dream that.

I’ve been on a four day week for years.

So have many others. But that's usually same total hours over less days or a change in pay.

35 hour week for me.

Doubt it. The government pulled it from all councils and government bodies didn't they.

It worked when it was trialled here but it'll never come in because they're terried of the headlines in the right wing papers that are ran by the billionaires. See also universal income, relaxing drug laws etc.

That still sounds like condensed hours, which is not what this is

I know Cambridgeshire Council ignored the ask and are currently continuing. The trial will end in March where they will present the positives to ministers.

My son has recently changed to 4 days on then 4 days off - he loves the extra flexibility it gives him

8hrs 45 mins is condensed. Sounds like normal working day to me. So what is the 4 day working week that my 4 day working week isn’t?

Same hours over longer days I presume?

8 (with bait) is a normal day surely?

Instead of 40 you do 32. No change to pay.

The 4DWW is 32 hours or less. Note that a standard working week of 35 to 40 hours worked over four days instead of five is not a four-day week – that is considered to be a five-day week with compressed hours, resulting in four long workdays.

There is no reduction in pay. Employees receive 100 per cent of the pay for 80 per cent of the time, in exchange for maintaining 100 per cent productivity.

Correct

Nobody does anything on a Friday anyway in most places.

ok so would you say me working 35 hours instead of 32 is condensed hours or doesn’t equate to a four day week?

 

[dangermows]

Correct

Not the same as this proposal.

Sounds bollocks to me like

You're working a five day week over 4 days. Which is fairly common.

Gilly will be advocating an 8 day working week
