The 4-day week job market in data

Companies running a 4-day week

The top 100 by work-life score, from the tracked employers that run a 4-day week and currently have open roles. It is a ranked sample, not the full list. Pay basis is stated for every row: a 4-day week at 80% pay is a real reduction in hours, and is never presented as full pay.

A dash means the company has not published that figure. We never estimate one. Browse every tracked company.

What schedules employers actually offer

Grouped by whether the schedule genuinely reduces weekly hours, compresses the same hours into fewer days, or keeps a full week with a flexibility policy attached. The distinction matters: only the first group means working less. 1,149 companies are in that first group.

Which day is the day off

Among 4-day-week companies that fix a specific day, 97% take Friday — 545 of 564 companies.

The denominator is stated on purpose. A further 61companies let the employee choose, which is a real answer but not a fixed day — including them moves this figure by around nine points. Companies that publish no day at all are excluded entirely.

How long the working week actually is

Across the 1,962 companies that publish a full-time week. This is why the platform-wide average is around 36.1 hours rather than 32: most listed companies offer a flexibility policy on a full week, not a shorter one.
