Find a Job with a4 Day Work Week

In almost all cases, yes. The entire point of the 4-day week movement is to reduce working hours without any change to salary or benefits. Most companies on our platform switched from 5 days to 4 while keeping salaries exactly the same, along with full benefits — health insurance, paid vacation, pension/401(k) match, and more. In some cases we list roles at 80% pay for 4 days, but these are always clearly labeled.

Most 4-day week roles are 32 hours per week (the “gold standard”), though some are 36 or even 40 hours compressed into 4 days. Beyond the classic 4-day week, we also list 4.5-day weeks, 9-day fortnights, summer Fridays, flex Fridays, flexible hours, and generous PTO policies. Hours and schedule type are clearly shown on each listing - you can filter by schedule type when browsing jobs.

It’s not necessary - these companies already offer reduced hours as standard. That said, it’s always a good idea to confirm the specifics with the hiring manager, especially around which day is off and the exact weekly hours. If you spot any outdated information, please contact us and we’ll update it.

Definitely not. When Microsoft Japan tested a 4-day work week, productivity jumped by 40%. Multiple studies have shown that 4-day weeks produce similar or better output than 5-day weeks. Fridays tend to be unproductive - longer lunches, early departures, more chat. Give people that day off, and Monday to Thursday becomes significantly more focused. It’s working smarter, not harder.
