A Bristol-based environmental organisation has moved to a four-day working week without any reduction in pay for staff.
Community interest company City to Sea employs 19 people, who are all now working a 32-hour week, but are being paid the same salary as when they worked for five days. The organisation, which is based in St Pauls in the city and campaigns to reduce plastic pollution, confirmed the move after running a four-day week trial, and receiving positive feedback from staff.
The organisation has been officially accredited as a 'Gold Standard' four-day week employer under a scheme run by the 4 Day Week Campaign, which recognes employers who offer shorter working weeks. City to Sea said it would now "embed" the shorter working pattern into staff contracts.
