This should be a decision between business and workers as not all scenarios will work with this structure.
@9DZWMT61yr1Y
No, but require all companies to justify the reason for a role that must work more than four days. In addition, all full-time four-day work must still equate to at least 36 to 40 hours.
@9DYY6QH1yr1Y
Yes, depending on the amount of work hours per day
@9DYVY3M1yr1Y
Some physical jobs cannot be compressed I to 4 days as it is too difficult but most jobs should if posdible
@9DVBLND 1yr1Y
This should be decided by companies on an individual basis not the Government
@9DSH4Z21yr1Y
Yes, if the business sees no major difference then presenting a better work life balance should be encouraged.

Up to individual organisations
