Survey – 4-day work week pilot
Options: Compressed workweek or Reduction of hours
Compressed workweek definition
A compressed workweek is a workweek in which employees work their full weeks’ worth of hours but over four days of the week. For employees on a 40hr contract, a compressed workweek would consist of four 10-hour days—for example, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Thursday, or 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM Tuesday through Friday.
In a compressed workweek pilot:
• Employees will have an option to work a compressed workweek.
• An employee who chooses a compressed workweek schedule is expected to collaborate within his/her department to schedule his/her work schedule to ensure department coverage during standard business hours, being 8am – 5pm.
• An employee who chooses to work a compressed workweek schedule would establish and maintain his/her work schedule throughout the pilot.
The following survey has been developed to determine interest in, and potential impacts of, piloting a compressed workweek at First Advantage for 2-3 months this year.
Reduction of hours definition
Employees can opt to work less hours and would change their contracted hours in consultation with their line manager and HR. This change would require a contract amendment to working hours pay and holiday.
