Yes/No; further trials, testing, and research is needed for industries to be able to implement a four day work week; allow employees to work four days a week, without interruption to services, productivity and overall business function(s), which should continue to occur over a five day; Monday – Friday, period. Moreover, the ability of whether an employee is able to live on four days’ pay per week, need also be considered, especially, in the scenario that said employee is not offered the additional work hours; above 32 hours a week, to qualify for over-time pay.

It would be lovely but can people afford to live on 4 days pay and many businesses probably probably can't afford to pay you the same wage

Yes, and have overtime on the day off be paid more so people can properly recover. This will improve work ethic.

This should be encouraged, but it should not be mandated by the government as it risks heavily impacting smaller businesses compared to larger ones that can afford the increased labor costs. Larger corporations and Government agencies could start implementing this which would help it slowly transition in order for companies to continue to be competitive for employment.

It depends on the industry. Different workplaces (and even different people!) work best with different schedules.

I would say yes but keep the full time hours at 38 hours. Then over that time is still classed as overtime. But only if there are allowances for working parent to have more subsidised childcare to allow for longer working days.
