South Cambridgeshire District Council currently operates four-day week working arrangements. A four-day week is when full-time staff work one less day per week (four days instead of five) but still get paid the same salary. The idea is that we get 100% of our work done, in about 80% of the time, for 100% of the pay. The purpose is to deliver an excellent service to residents – whilst better supporting the health and wellbeing of our colleagues. Read more about the four-day week at the Council.
