What is a 4 day work week job?: A 4 day work week job is where one works reduced hours. This usually means that, instead of 40 hours over 5 days, companies enable employees to work 32 hours over 4 days. In some countries, companies have already started testing out 28 hours over 4 days.
What are the benefits of a 4 day work week job?: There are several benefits for a 4 day work week including:

Employees who transition to working 4 days a week instead of 5 know that it is especially important for them to be focused. If they aren’t focused, they still need to get their work done and they may end up working that fifth day.
Who can work part time in Switzerland?: In Switzerland, full-time contracts typically run 40 to 42 hours a week, and the Working Act sets a legal maximum of 45 or 50 hours a week depending on the sector. Part-time work ("Teilzeit" or "temps partiel") is common, and is usually expressed as a percentage of a full-time role, for example 80% for a 4-day week.

There is no general legal right to reduce your hours in an existing job, so a part-time or 4-day arrangement is agreed with your employer and written into your employment contract. Many roles are advertised with a range such as 80-100%, so it is worth checking the workload percentage in the listing.
