Here in the Netherlands it's your legal right to work less hours for the same pay (per hour). In my company, the largest ISP, lots of people work either 32 hours, 36 (4x9) or something else. A standard contract at our company is 36 hours. Meaning every other Friday off by default.
So I think finding a job in the Netherlands would be a good start.
- louwrentius 4y agoJust want to support this response. I work 32 hours as a contractor, it should not be and issue in NL. The 100% remote part may in practice be more of a challenge than working 32 hours. For others: That extra day off means less income, but to me the value of that extra day off is almost incalculable.
- c-fe 4y agoI am a MSc student about to graduate in Amsterdam - domain is Data science (but i have a BSc in CS) - how would I approach a company about part-time work? Most positions are advertised as full-time, do I just apply for them and then if they chose me, mention that I only would like to work part-time? I feel like if i mention it too early in the hiring process they may actually chose a candidate that is able to work full-time.
- apexalpha 4y agoGet hired and then reduce your hours is the legal fool-proof way. But honestly ask about their policies regarding this and you'll get a sense of the possibilities.
