How a 4 day work week (80%) works

Work 4 days per week at 80% salary

  • Work 4 days a week at 80% of a standard salary
  • Best fit for roles where the workload genuinely shrinks
  • Often used as a stepping stone to a full 4-day-week trial
Best for: people whose role can genuinely shrink to 4 days, who value time over money.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about 4-day week jobs

We list 73 companies that have publicly committed to a 4 day week pro rata arrangement with full pay. The defining feature of every company on this page is that hours are reduced relative to a standard 5-day week without a corresponding pay cut. Prominent employers include Always Fresh, Andersen Lab, and Balsamiq. Browse the list above for company profiles and current open positions.
The specifics vary by company, but every 4 day week pro rata implementation on this page preserves full pay. Some employers fix the non-working day, others rotate it; some define the schedule week-by-week, others operate on a longer cycle. The common threads are full salary, consistent workload expectations, and public commitment to the policy. Each company profile shows the exact version they operate.
Technology, consulting, and professional services dominate adoption of the 4 day week pro rata pattern. Engineering-heavy and knowledge-work roles are most compatible with the compressed workload expectations, though an increasing number of design, marketing, and product-focused organisations appear in the listings. Click through to individual company pages for industry-specific context on how the schedule operates in practice.
Companies offering a 4 day week pro rata typically provide about 27 days of annual leave on top of the reduced-hours schedule — vacation days are separate from the weekly day off. Some employers combine the reduced schedule with unlimited or generous PTO policies; others stick to standard allowances because the weekly cadence already reduces burnout. Individual company profiles detail the exact PTO policy.
No — companies on 4dayweek.io commit to maintaining full pay under the 4 day week pro rata arrangement. This is a hard criterion for inclusion. Pilot studies from the UK 4 Day Week Campaign and individual company reports consistently show productivity held flat or improved under full-pay reduced schedules. Part-time and explicitly pro-rata arrangements are labelled separately and don't appear on standard schedule-type pages.
