Australia and New Zealand have kicked off a pilot program where workers get an extra day off per week with no reduction in pay, as the idea of a four-day work week continues to gain popularity.
The program, involving some 20 companies from industries ranging from finance to fashion, is based on the 100-80-100 model, meaning workers get 100 percent of the pay, for 80 percent of the time, in exchange for a commitment to maintaining at least 100 percent of the output.
