Trial of four-day working week

A UK pilot study of a compressed working week, where employees move to a four-day working week with no reduction in pay, is underway and gathering momentum, with ten businesses having joined and “hundreds” more signed up for information sessions. Other businesses have implemented a four-day week outside of the trial, including the Landmark London hotel. 

Employers will want to look closely at the outcome of the pilot study and also begin internal discussions if they have not already done so, as to what may be practicable or desirable in their own businesses, particularly if the pilot is deemed a success, and employee retention is preferred.

I have worked with Ortolan Legal since 2010 and used their services extensively. They have provided corporate and commercial legal advice and we have also drawn on their capability in the areas of employment law, dispute resolution and property law. What makes them so different is their ability consistently to deliver commercially focussed and high quality advice at a price point which simply cannot be matched by other law firms. They aim to strip out unnecessary overhead costs, concentrate on the quality of their core service and pass on these cost savings to their clients. It works.
