Between June and December last year, around 2,900 workers enjoyed an extra day off every week as part of the biggest trial of the four-day-work week in the UK.
The test saw 61 companies adopt a '100-80-100' model, where employees would work 80% of their regularly scheduled hours but receive 100% of the pay while delivering 100% of the normal output. How the firms used the model was up to them, with some opting for a condensed week while others let staff choose their four days.
