Reduced Work Week and Compressed Work Week are a (relatively) new concept that some Annualised Hours Contract workplaces are doing
Reduced: You work 4 days of 7.5 hours, adding up to 30 hours weekly, you get paid the same as if you worked 5 days of 7.5 hours (37.5 hours)
Compressed: You work 4 days of 9.5 hours, adding up to 37.5 hours weekly, you get paid the same as if you worked 5 days of 7.5 hours (37.5 hours)
I worked in a hospital for years that did shifts as 8-8-8-16. The 16 was rough but you got used to it and a permanent 3 day weekend was amaaaaaazing to the point that my life since has been very unsatisfactory. A 2 day weekend is utter bullshit especially as you get older. It’s barely enough time to recover
