Yes, and require overtime pay for work over four days per week

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3yrs3Y

No

 @9FL3CKFfrom British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

There are far too many people who spend their time working a full workday and sometimes on weekends, just to earn a minimum wage and have to support their families while not even being able to see them due to lack of time, with a 4-day week there is more time to spend with the people needed to see.

 @9FHWJC4from Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

people are having such long work weeks that they aren't giving there full work effort and just cant wait for the the weekend. Its better to give them the day off and let them come back ready to work and give it there best.

 @9ZJYVMHfrom Ontario  answered…1wk1W

Yes, but it is up to the business as many industries cannot realistically function logistically on a four day work week.

 @9WYDMSDfrom British Columbia  answered…3wks3W

Yes, anything more than 6 hours a day or 4 days a week or after youve worked 36 hours should be overtime pay, anything after 10 hours a day should be double time pay. we should also not tax workers at all for overtime and double time pay.

 @9WX62N7Independentfrom Ontario  answered…4wks4W

No, let companies decide for themselves what works best, but they should definitely pay for overtime, ie hours beyond a regular working day.

 @9W7GNYVfrom British Columbia  answered…1mo1MO

I would support this is some cases. However, the structure of a four day workweek would have to be better outlined for me to make a decision. As long as productivity and wages don't dip, I am all for it.

 @9TXBP2YIndependentfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

No but we should look at alternative work options which support parents, adults looking after seniors or dependants, etc.

 @9C4N53Jfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but time should be allocated towards betterment of ones self. such as gym, better meal prepping, etc. workers comp should also be reduced with this work week.

 @9BHYRL7from Northwest Territories  answered…2yrs2Y

yes, if companies are required to maintain annual salaries, grant overtime for additional time, maintain sickdays and holidays and are banned from outsourcing/contracting work to "make up the lost productivity"

 @93VP5NZfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, because it will save government expenses, and positively impact employees' performance and their mental health, provided that it will not reduce their wages.

 @936PM7Ffrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

 @928X97Sfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, if it will reduce costs in the public sector, no input if no financial gains. Leave the private sector alone.

 @8ZT5SNWfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

No, this would cause problems in terms of childcare, but mandatory sick days should be increased

 @8XXYZCXPeople’sfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

A choice should be put down, if a human wants to work 4 days, work 4 days. If 5 days a week work 5 days a week

 @9CGBPXCfrom Manitoba  answered…1yr1Y

Encourage employers and employees to come to a personal agreement to work as needed or desired to complete a goal, task, project, or fulfill other personal economic obligations.

 @97BRZXPfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but no i think it should be a case by case company by company affair, work should be a constant affair for the company but limited on the individual worker, 24/7 shifts but not for every person, more employed less hours individually workd

Individual businesses should make their own determination on the matter

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, it is better for economic stability and personal health. But additionally, we should offer double pay for people who continue to work on Friday.

Switch to a thirty-hour work week of five six-hour days, and raise wages accordingly.

 @2VWTTCCanswered…3yrs3Y

Private businesses should have the ability to do this, but government jobs should not.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

No, different jobs have different needs at different places. People know how much money they need and how many hours they need to work to get the money. Choose a job according to your skills and financial need.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but the government shouldn't make decisions for private businesses

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

No, different jobs have different needs at different places. People know how much money they need and how many hours they need to work to get the money, depending on their skills and financial need.

 @8ZCJJ3R from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

Regardless, the government should not tell private businesses how many days to work in a week. We have sufficient laws in place for this.

 @heatherdvdprincessanswered…3yrs3Y

Let's see what happens in the other countries and then experiment with it if it is worth it. It is worth it if it increases GDP and/or significantly improves mental health and family ties.

It is up to the workers themselves to decide how many days a week they work.

I would be interested in experiments to this effect that are held to high, unbiased research standards.

Yes, but do four 10 hour days split in two for non service industry, and split in three for service industry for meals and errands.
