Find a 4 day work week job.

In almost all cases: no. The goal of the 4 day week movement is to reduce working hours without any changes to salary. In fact - most of these companies used to work 5 days and switched to a 4 day work week without any changes to salary. In some cases we list jobs which are 4 days @ 80% salary, but these are clearly marked.

This varies from company to company but in the most cases the benefits offered by these companies are exactly the same as any "normal" full time job. So you can expect to receive the usual perks e.g. health insurance, paid vacation, 401(k) match etc. Every four-day workweek company on our site includes their benefits package on their company profile, as well as on job listings.

Most 4 day week job listings are for 32 hours per week (i.e. the "gold standard") although some work 36 or even 40 hours per week. The number of hours / week is clearly marked on each job listing however e.g. 4x9hr days etc. We also list other forms of reduced hours jobs e.g. 4.5 day weeks, 4 day week @ 80% salary, 9 day fortnights, 4 day weeks every 2nd week, 4 day week during the summer, flex fridays, 5 day week jobs with 40+ days vacation etc. Please check the job listing before applying.

It's not necessary, but it's also not a bad idea to confirm this with the hiring manager. We do our best to keep all information up to date but in some cases it can be difficult to do so (e.g. if a company goes back to working 5 days without letting us know). If there are any issues do please get in touch and we will fix the company's details asap. For the companies which say they offer a 4 day week @ 80% salary, we recommend you confirm this with the hiring manager before accepting the job.

Definitely not. When Microsoft Japan tested a four-day work week, productivity jumped by 40%. Many studies have shown that a four day work week has similar output to a 5 day work week. In short, Fridays are slow -there's more chit chat, the lunches are longer, people leave early... If we give staff a extra day off, they are more productive during Monday to Thursday, which more than makes up for an unproductive Friday. So as the saying goes, you're "working smarter, not harder". Additionally, a 4 day work week offers many other benefits on top of productivity gains, to both employer and employee.

We've built a database of over 350 companies that offer a four-day workweek.

A short working week offers many benefits to both employer and employee - too many to discuss here. For more information, we recently created a page discussing all the the pros and cons of having a four-day workweek.

It varies from company to company so we list the working schedules in all job posts (e.g. 4x8hr days). Most companies work 4x8hr days, whereas some work 4x9hr days and others 5x6hr days. We recently wrote a blog describing the different reduced working week schedules. On the website we list jobs under the following categories: 4 day week @ 100% salary, 4 day week @ 80% salary, 4.5 day week, 9 day fortnight, 4 day week every 2nd week, 4 day week during the summer, flex fridays as well as traditional 5 day work week jobs with 40+ days vacation. The mission is to promote jobs with an amazing work-life balance.

Most 4 day workweek companies are located in the United States, Canada and Europe. We recently analysed the locations of every four day workweek company we know of in a recent study. If you'd like to know more about the history of the 4 day week, we recently published a blog discussing its rise to prominence. p.s. most of the jobs on our site offer remote working, and some are even open to you working from anywhere in the world. You can also filter for jobs by country and continent.

Absolutely! Every four day workweek study that we know of has shown that a 4 day work week significantly improves work-life balance. It's not rocket science: a longer weekend = more time to recover = more productive staff.

While a 4-day workweek is not prevalent in every industry, it's seeing an increase in various sectors. The most widespread adoption is in tech, digital agencies, game development, recruitment, climate and non-profit sectors. However, other industries are beginning to implement this change. You can see the full list of companies here - and here is a list of companies who took part in a recent UK pilot by industry.
