Seventy UK companies and over 3300 workers began working a four-day week on Monday with no loss of pay this week in the biggest ever four-day week pilot to take place anywhere in the world so far.

Participating organisations are trialling a four-day week with no loss of pay for employees, based on the principle of the 100:80:100 model - 100% of the pay for 80% of the time, in exchange for a commitment to maintain at least 100% productivity.

The pilot is running for 6 months and is being organised by 4 Day Week Global in partnership with leading think tank Autonomy, the 4 Day Week UK Campaign, and researchers at Cambridge University, Oxford University and Boston College.

We asked some locals what their thoughts were on a four day work week. What do you think?
