For a six month period starting in June 2022, 61 UK companies reduced their employees working hours by 20 per cent, with no changes made to their salary.

A recent pilot saw 61 UK companies reduce working hours for all staff by 20 per cent for six months from June last year, with no cut in wages.

A bank which has moved to a four day working week - with no loss of salary - says it supports employees who want to get an extra job elsewhere on the fifth day.

A hundred British businesses have signed up for a permanent four-day working week for all their employees - with no loss of pay. Now, roughly 2,600 employees are set to benefit.

Peter Dowd, the MP for Bootle, made the proposition to introduce a four-day week and said British workers currently clock up the longest hours in Europe.

More than 3,300 employees across 70 companies took part in the experiment in June, with staff given full pay for 80% of their time while making a commitment to produce 100% of their usual output.

Durham-based Atom Bank rushed to the defence of the radical working pattern in the wake of reports that workers involved in the worlds biggest four-day week pilot had expressed concerns.

More than 3,000 employees across 70 companies began working a four-day week in June as part of a trial that could overhaul the working life of Britons.

Louise Verity, CEO of Bookishly, a business that sells literary gifts, has revealed that despite the trial going smoothly so far, her business will return to five-day working weeks over Christmas.

Hundreds of staff will take place in the first formal structured trial in Australia of a four-day week on full pay. Its a model that was started in New Zealand and rolled out globally. But how does it work?
