Reduced Work Week and Compressed Work Week are a (relatively) new concept that some Annualised Hours Contract workplaces are doing

Reduced: You work 4 days of 7.5 hours, adding up to 30 hours weekly, you get paid the same as if you worked 5 days of 7.5 hours (37.5 hours)

Compressed: You work 4 days of 9.5 hours, adding up to 37.5 hours weekly, you get paid the same as if you worked 5 days of 7.5 hours (37.5 hours)

    I work in a billable hours type job, and thus took a pay cut when dropping to 90% but it gives me one full day off every two weeks, and it has been great. I have a day that is mine. I resolved not to do any recurring tasks on that day (no mowing the lawn or doing the groceries or stuff like that) so that it stays a day for me to do something interesting and new, or just hang around and decompress in a coffee shop somewhere. Very much reccomend.
