I'm in the public sector, and a number of my coworkers do it. I had that schedule in the before times too - the entire day being off was advantageous for going out and doing things and eliminated an entire pair of commutes. Now, I have a 9x4+4 schedule where Fridays are half days. The reduction of the commute isn't as valuable when its "put on pants and down the stairs" and the full day to "do things" is reduced. The trick with the 9-80 schedule is to define the week starting at Friday at noon. Week 1: F: 0h; M: 9h; T: 9h; W: 9h; R: 9h; F: 4h (8-noon) = 40h Week 2: F: 4h (noon - 4); M: 9h; T: 9h; W: 9h; R: 9h; F: 0h = 40h And thus, for the defined 7 day period, the work doesn't exceed 40h. Additionally, no day is more than 9h (some places have requirements when 10h is worked within one 24h period). https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/80-work-schedule https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/80-w... https://gusto.com/blog/people-management/9-80-work-schedule https://gusto.com/blog/people-management/9-80-work-schedule https://www.zoomshift.com/blog/9-80-work-schedule/ https://www.zoomshift.com/blog/9-80-work-schedule/
