How we rank these companies

These companies are ordered by their work-life score— a 0–100 rating we calculate from each employer’s published policies, averaging 87 across the 15 companies on this page.

  • Contracted hours carry the most weight — the fewer hours a full-time week actually is, the higher the score. A 40-hour week earns nothing here.
  • Remote and schedule flexibility comes next: whether the role is genuinely remote, how much say you have over your hours, and whether core hours are fixed.
  • Paid leave is scored above a 15-day baseline, so a statutory minimum adds nothing and a genuinely generous allowance does.
  • The schedule itself can add or subtract. A genuine reduced-day week scores positively; a full-week perk such as unlimited PTO scores negatively, because it is not a reduction in hours.

Every company starts from the same baseline and is scored on the policies recorded in its profile, so a company that publishes more detail is scored more precisely. The same score appears on that company’s own page. Read the full scoring rubric →

How we curate this list

We track companies that publicly offer reduced-hours schedules — 4-day weeks, 9-day fortnights, half-day Fridays, and more. This page refreshes daily; companies that drop the policy are removed. Read about our editorial standards →

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about 4-day week jobs

We currently list 15 companies operating in Netherlands that have adopted a 4-day work week or similar reduced-hours schedule with full pay. The number shifts as new employers join the 4dayweek.io index and existing ones post open roles. Prominent employers include &samhoud, AFAS Software, and Bijles Aan Huis. Each company profile links to their current open positions and specific schedule policy.
Companies listed for Netherlands average about 31.9 hours per week and offer about 26 days of vacation per year. Most follow a fixed 4-day-week pattern (commonly Monday–Thursday), though some use 9-day fortnights or flexible arrangements. Full salary is maintained — that's the defining criterion for inclusion on 4dayweek.io. Individual company pages show exact hours, which day is off, and whether the schedule is fixed or rotating.
In Netherlands, software and technology companies lead the 4-day-week movement, followed closely by consulting, marketing agencies, and a growing cohort of product and SaaS organisations. Professional services and knowledge-work sectors generally outpace retail and customer-facing industries in adoption. Browse the full list above to see the specific industry mix currently hiring.
Public-sector engagement varies by country. In Netherlands, awareness of 4-day-week pilots has grown following high-profile international trials — the UK's 2022 4 Day Week Campaign trial is the most widely cited. Some regions have public-sector pilots or political party positions supporting reduced hours; others rely on private-sector leadership. Companies on this page operate independently of any government programme and have made the schedule shift as a business decision.
Many of the companies listed here are fully-remote or hybrid and accept applicants from outside Netherlands, subject to timezone and legal-entity constraints. Individual company profiles indicate their remote-work policy and accepted locations. Cross-border arrangements typically route through employer-of-record services or require the employer to have a legal entity in the candidate's country. Check each listing for specifics before applying.
