It's very common here in Switzerland. I could reduce my work hours to 80% without even needing approval from my manager. Many parents do some combination of 80%

- iovrthoughtthis 6y agoI would love to read a little about the culture and laws that afford this! Do you know of anything I could read that might be available in English?
- Spooky23 6y agoIt isn’t uncommon for union jobs with good benefits. No laws are required, although most companies would only do it for some executives. When I worked for the public sector, it was possible go 80% without a lot of red tape, and as low as 20% with approvals. The people going 20% had more expenses, and were usually sick with cancer or something, and that allowed them to stay on payroll to maximize their leave and insurance. You could work 5 days a week and “bank” a certain amount of leave for up to a year.
