How a summer fridays works

Fridays off during summer months

  • Fridays off (or half-day) from late May through early September
  • Standard 5-day week the rest of the year
  • Common at US-based marketing and creative agencies
Best for: people who value seasonal flexibility — full-on the rest of the year, lighter in summer.

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 62 across the 119 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 →

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about 4-day week jobs

We list 119 companies offering a summer fridays arrangement. Hours are reduced relative to a standard 5-day week; whether pay follows is each employer's call, so each company profile states its pay basis. Prominent employers include 37signals, 829 Studios, and Abdo. Browse the list above for company profiles and current open positions.
The specifics vary by company. Some employers fix the non-working day, others rotate it; some define the summer fridays schedule week-by-week, others operate on a longer cycle. Pay is each employer's call, so each company profile shows the exact version they operate and its pay basis.
Technology, consulting, and professional services dominate adoption of the summer fridays pattern. Engineering-heavy and knowledge-work roles are the most common, though an increasing number of design, marketing, and product-focused organisations appear in the listings. Click through to individual company pages for industry-specific context on how the schedule operates in practice.
Individual company profiles detail the exact PTO policy. Some employers combine the schedule with unlimited or generous PTO policies; others stick to standard allowances. Leave is separate from the schedule itself.
It depends on the employer. A summer fridays arrangement reduces hours, but whether pay follows is each employer's call, so each company profile states its pay basis where it is published.
