South Cambridgeshire District Council, GB considers first-in-the-U.K. trial of four-day work week

District officials seek a way to maintain service levels without the high costs of temporary staffing for council vacancies. A proposed pilot would shift 470 office employees to a four-day, 30-hour work week for the first three months of 2023. Personnel managers would use existing metrics like planning application review times and benefit claims turnarounds in evaluating staff productivity. The proposal follows a successful pilot with four-day weeks for council laborers.
