4 day workweek
The concept of shortening the average week of work has gained popularity in recent years.
  • A new Massachusetts bill would provide financial incentives for companies with a four-day workweek.
  • The bill would give tax credits to businesses shifting workers to a shorter week with the same pay.
  • A UK study last year found a four-day workweek decreased stress and anxiety for nearly 3,000 workers.

Massachusetts lawmakers are considering a new law that would offer financial incentives to companies with four-day workweeks, citing more evidence that it increases productivity and morale.
