Dozens of UK firms are about to trial four-day working weeks with no loss in pay

Dozens of UK firms are about to trial four-day working weeks with no loss in pay

The Metro says another 30 British companies have signed up to a six-month pilot of a four-day working week.

The trial will see no loss in pay for employees working one fewer day a week – instead they will be asked to maintain 100% productivity for 80% of their time.

In total just under 2,000 employees will be getting a paid day off weekly over the course of the pilot.

From a local fish and chip shop to large corporate companies, a wide range of businesses are set to take part.

4 Day Week Global founder Andrew Barnes said: ‘Following the advances made by Perpetual Guardian in New Zealand and various political and business leaders in Spain, Japan, Ireland, Scotland, Iceland and elsewhere, this next cohort of businesses trialling the model in the United Kingdom is laying the foundation for the future of work.
