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. To find roles that actually cut weekly hours, filter by a schedule such as the 4-day week or the 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. Employers on this page include Syracuse University, University of Manchester, and George Washington University. The range is broadening each year as high-profile pilots publish results and competitive-hiring pressure pushes more sectors to adopt these arrangements.

A compressed week arrangement describes how your week is organised rather than how many hours it holds, so it is not a pay question in itself: salary is set by each employer and shown on the listing where it is published.

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 ways to change the shape of a working week. A 4-day week or a 9-day fortnight cuts the hours; a compressed week packs the same hours into fewer, longer days; flexible hours and generous or unlimited leave change when you work or how much time off you have, without changing the weekly hours. The common thread on 4dayweek.io is a better work-life balance, and each listing's schedule badge shows which arrangement the employer offers. Different arrangements suit different teams — expand any listing to see how that employer structures it.
