Short week, the examples: from Spain to the United Kingdom, that’s where it is

In Italy it starts with Intesa Sanpaolo

More and more we hear about the short work week. In many countries they have already adopted this method, in Italy the first realities in the private sector are beginning to emerge, experimenting and introducing it gradually. In practice, employees work 4 days a week instead of 5 and the daily hours increase from 7 and a half to 9; we pass to a week made up of 80% of the previous time but 100% of the production and also of the salary. it is precisely this model that Intesa Sanpaolo discussed with the Fabi, First Cisl, Fisac ​​Cgil, Uilca and Unisin trade unions and should receive approval as early as tomorrow. The institute led by CEO Carlo Messina made the short week proposal during the discussion on the review of the smart working agreements already signed in the past. Technically, the contract already provides for it today, but to put it into practice, the provision requires second-level bargaining. The idea, in fact, would be theRaise the working hours on a daily basis to nine, going from 37.5 to 36 hours per week but leaving the salary unchanged. Andr discussed within the individual structures of the group (which has 76,000 employees throughout Italy), according to needs, and it is not said that the formula will be adopted by all offices, excluding branches. In the next few days the proposal will be made official to all trade unions.
In other countries, both European and extra, the 4-day working week is a reality but with different characteristics. Let’s see which ones.
