Description

UKs Local Government Secretary Warns Councils on Four-Day Work Week: Steve Reed sends a stark warning to councils considering a four-day work week, stating it could be seen as part-time work for full-time pay, potentially triggering government intervention. Twenty-five councils are discussing the policy, with South Cambridgeshire already implementing it. Reed clarifies current guidance still applies and will provide more details soon. Critics argue the four-day week could boost productivity and cut costs, setting the stage for more debates.
