    Fwiw a 4 day week, and a 5 day week compressed in to 4 days, are different things.

      This is true. It’s still an awful lot more flexibility though. And of course as none of this legislation is written yet, it could lean either way while enabling both.

      Yes. And there’s recent evidence in the UK that shows that.

      The success in South Cambs council is often quoted, but it was a 4x8 hours scheme, not a 4x10. 4x10 often fails because of exhaustion. I think there was a recent example in Welsh local government, but I can’t currently find it.

      I think last year’s positive 4 day week report was largely 4x8 schemes as well.
