Everything you need to know about 4-day week jobs

A compressed week policy keeps a standard full-time week, but is designed to protect work-life balance — the exact structure varies by employer. The companies on this page have all publicly documented their version (how much leave, which days, or how flexibility is granted), so their listings show the specifics; expand any role to see exactly how that employer runs it. For genuinely shorter-week roles, filter by a reduced-hours schedule such as a 4-day week or 9-day fortnight in the sidebar. You may also see this schedule described as "4 days on, 3 days off", "four 10-hour days", or "10-hour shifts, 4 days a week" — they refer to the same arrangement.

Currently, software and technology companies dominate the compressed week listings, followed by consulting firms, product organisations, and an increasing number of professional services and healthcare employers. This page lists 1049 open roles at 43+ companies including Syracuse University, George Washington University, and University of Manchester. The range is broadening each year as high-profile pilots publish results and competitive-hiring pressure pushes more sectors to adopt these arrangements.

Yes — and that is the point of listing these roles separately. A compressed week arrangement is explicitly pro-rata: hours come down and pay scales with them, which is a different deal from the full-pay reduced week most of 4dayweek.io lists. Every role here is labelled as such on the listing and in its schedule badge, so nothing is hidden behind a schedule name. If you want reduced hours at 100% salary instead, browse the 4-day-week pages — those employers have publicly committed to holding pay flat.

The most successful approach is to propose a trial period with clear success metrics — what output you'll maintain, how you'll track it, and when you'll review. Reference the published pilot data: the UK 4-day-week trial saw 92% of participating companies continue post-trial, with flat or improved revenue. Pitch it as a productivity experiment, not a lifestyle perk. If your employer declines, every company listed on this page already operates on a compressed week — switching may be faster than convincing.

Compressed Week is one of several work-life-balance arrangements we list, alongside genuinely reduced-hours patterns (4-day weeks, 9-day fortnights, part-time) and other flexibility policies (flexible hours, generous or unlimited leave, no-meeting days). The common thread on 4dayweek.io is a better work-life balance, with full pay on all but the clearly-labelled part-time and pro-rata roles. Different arrangements suit different industries and teams — expand any listing to see how that employer structures it.
