Wirral Council said it is “open” to the idea of a four day working week for employees in future.
The comments were made by a senior council officer during a committee meeting discussing how the local authority manages its workforce after a question by Cllr Harry Gorman about an ongoing national trial.
Dozens of companies entered a six-month trial to only ask employees to work four days a week but still be paid the same salary as before. In February, 56 extended the trial with 18 making the changes permanent.
