Frequently asked questions

How does a 4-day week (80% pay) schedule actually work?

A 4-day week (80% pay) arrangement reduces standard working hours at clearly-labelled pro-rata 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.

Which industries most commonly offer a 4-day week (80% pay)?

Currently, software and technology companies dominate the 4-day week (80% pay) listings, followed by consulting firms, product organisations, and an increasing number of professional services and healthcare employers. Employers on this page include Behaviour, Smartest Energy, and Thales. The range is broadening each year as high-profile pilots publish results and competitive-hiring pressure pushes more sectors to adopt these arrangements.

Does a 4-day week (80% pay) schedule affect my pay?

Yes — and that is the point of listing these roles separately. A 4-day week (80% pay) arrangement is explicitly pro-rata: hours come down and pay scales with them, which is a different deal from the plain 4-day week, where pay is not reduced. Every role here is labelled as such on the listing and in its schedule badge, so nothing is hidden behind a schedule name.

How do I ask my current employer to move to a 4-day week (80% pay)?

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 week (80% pay) — switching may be faster than convincing.

How does 4-day week (80% pay) compare to other working-time arrangements?

4 Day Week (80% Pay) 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, async 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.
