Dear Editor,
I got my first job when I was 14 and basically haven’t stopped working, be it part time or full time since then. Many of the full time positions I have worked in have been flexible and I have only worked 4 days a week.
I now work for myself, often only working 4 days in a week but sometimes working 5. I worked 6 and 7 days a week to get it off the ground for over 12 months but I now enjoy my 4 days a week and thoroughly enjoy a Friday to Sunday weekend.
My partner and girlfriend for many years also works a 4 day week and her company has 2 employment options, 4 days a week working 9:30am until 8:00pm, or the standard Monday to Friday. She has of course opted for the 4 day a week option because this allows us to spend more time together and enjoy our weekend. We both accept that we see little of each other during the week however even saying that a 9:30 start time. That is a bit of a sleep in.
The type of format got me thinking… why don’t more businesses operate with different employment options? More and more people want to be in communication with businesses after the standard 5pm closing time so in this respect it makes sense.
