Nation's favorite cloud-slinger, AWS, unlikely to be taking part
A fresh pilot of a four-day working week is currently taking place in the UK, despite several tech giants recently mandating five days a week in the office for their staff.
Dr Doug Brown, chief exec of the British Society for Immunology , one of the orgs participating, said:"We are excited to offer this new benefit to those employees at the BSI who choose to participate, and hope that this will further enhance our working culture, providing staff with the opportunity to improve their work-life balance and making us an even more attractive employer.
All together, one thousand workers will get an extra day off every week under the pilot, which follows an earlier, larger trial scheme in 2022. Under thecampaign signed up 61 companies and approximately 2,900 workers to try out four-day-working between June and December of that year.. While revenues for the participating businesses were broadly unaltered during the trial period, rising by 1.
Such return-to-office mandates could come unstuck in the UK, at least, if the campaign makes enough headway for workers to be given the right to a four-day-week, unlikely as it seems. A similarto amend the country's Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to reduce the standard workweek from 40 hours per week to 32 hours per week. Introduced by Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, it also proposes overtime hours calculated based on daily hours over eight hours instead of weekly hours over 40 hours.
