Everything you need to know about 4-day week jobs
We list 5028 remote jobs at companies offering a 4-day work week or similar reduced schedule. 571 were added this week. All listings are fully-remote or remote-friendly, with employers spanning engineering, design, marketing, sales, and operations. Most employers here have publicly committed to a shorter work week with full pay — no unpaid Friday afternoons — though a minority of part-time and pro-rata roles (clearly labelled) scale pay to hours. Browse the full list above or filter by category, seniority, or tech stack.
Employers featured on this page include Samsara, Affirm, and Elastic. The full roster covers startups and established companies that have adopted a 32-hour week, a 9-day fortnight, flexible-hours policies, or similar reduced-schedule arrangements. Each company's individual listing page shows their exact schedule policy, remote-work expectations, and open roles. Company counts shift as new employers join 4dayweek.io and existing roles fill.
No — companies listed on 4dayweek.io commit to maintaining full salary when moving to a 4-day week. The widely-cited pilot studies (the UK 4-day-week trial, Iceland's experiments, Perpetual Guardian's research) all measured outcomes at full pay, which is the baseline our listings follow. Specific salary ranges vary by role, seniority, and geography — expand any listing above to see the exact figures or filter by salary band in the sidebar.
A 4-day week means every week is 32 hours across four days (typically Monday–Thursday, with Friday off). A 9-day fortnight compresses two standard weeks into nine days (one Friday off every other week — 36 hours average). Flexible hours lets employees choose their schedule (often capped at 32–36 hours per week). All three appear on 4dayweek.io because the common thread is reduced hours at full pay — not a fixed Friday closure.
