I don't think I agree that it's hard to find at all. In almost all coverage I've seen of this in the UK it has been made extremely clear either in the headline or the opening paragraph that it's "reduced hours, same pay".
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63808326 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63808326 opens with "When Joe Dance was offered the chance to earn his full salary by working just four days a week, he was sceptical."
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61570021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61570021 is headlined "The workers getting 100% of the pay for 80% of the hours"
The pilot scheme's own website https://www.4dayweek.co.uk/pilot-programme https://www.4dayweek.co.uk/pilot-programme says "with almost every company that took part deciding to continue with a four-day week, with no loss of pay for workers."
