Would a 4 day working week pay as much as a 5 day week? Longer hours possibly!

@SerenaFyvie The report doesnt suggest that. It says you still do 8 hour x 4 days - the companies just expect you to work harder.

@RiazJugon My comment was a question. Bottom line is that if people work less hours I can't imagine many companies paying for a day you're not working, so that's 20% saving on their workforce budget, unless you make up the hours.
