'I'm a boss taking part in the four-day work week trial - it's been bumpy'

Working four days of the week is a desirable prospect for many of us - and for some lucky Brits, it is the stuff of reality. They are part of the world's biggest pilot study of UK companies trialling the four-day week for six months. The premise is simple - all employees earn the same salary as they did when working five days every week.

Dubbed the 100:80:100 model, employees earn 100 per cent pay for working 80 per cent of the time, in exchange for 100 per cent productivity. More than 3,000 people working for 70 business are taking part - including a north London brewery, Norfolk chippy and Dundee animation studio.
