Our nearly century-long love affair with the five-day workweek is over.
Some 40% of Australian professionals believe the four-day work week will become a reality within the next five years, according to a survey of 41,965 professionals by global recruitment firm Hays plc.

The new, shorter work week proposed by the bill would represent a departure from the standard five-day, 40-hour work week established through a 1940 amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Drawing on success stories from companies that have adopted the four-day work week since the pandemic, the bill’s objective is to give more businesses the flexibility to try it out for themselves.
