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 56 across the 18 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 →
