    Four-day week would be affordable for most UK firms

    "Four-day week would be affordable for most UK firms, says thinktank

    Autonomy study says with proper planning companies can prosper if staff work fewer hours for same pay

    A carefully designed four-day week could be introduced in the UK immediately and be affordable for most firms with more than 50 workers, a thinktank has said.

    A report by Autonomy – which is campaigning for a shorter working week without loss of pay – said the majority of 50,000 firms studied would be able to cope with the change through higher productivity or by raising prices.

    The thinktank said the government should investigate ways of rolling out a four-day week, starting with the public sector."

                I used to work a 4 day week on an hourly rate, it meant long days but was well worth it. I used to take 2 days off every two weeks.
                I'm alright Jack
