Jobs with a 4-Day Work Week

A 4-day work week arrangement reduces standard working hours while preserving full pay — the exact structure varies by employer. Some companies fix the non-working day (commonly Friday), others let employees pick. The companies on this page have all publicly documented their version of the schedule, so their listings show whether the reduced day is fixed, rotating, or flexible. Expand any listing to see the specifics and the weekly hours. You may also see this schedule described as a 32-hour week, a four-day work week, or simply "4 days a week" — they refer to the same arrangement.

Currently, software and technology companies dominate the 4-day work week listings, followed by consulting firms, product organisations, and an increasing number of professional services and healthcare employers. Employers on this page include Intesa Sanpaolo, 25hours Hotels, and AWIN. The range is broadening each year as high-profile pilots publish results and competitive-hiring pressure pushes more sectors to adopt these arrangements.

For the listings on this page, no — the employers have publicly committed to full pay under the 4-day work week arrangement: a shorter week without a pay cut is what that label means. Pilot studies from the UK 4 Day Week Campaign, Iceland's trials, and individual company reports consistently show productivity held flat or improved under full-pay schedules.

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 4-day work week — switching may be faster than convincing.

4 Day Work Week is one of several ways to change the shape of a working week, and it cuts weekly hours. 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.
