Abstract

With flexible working hours gaining acceptance among British companies, Keith Mayes takes a look at working habits in the US. There, the trend is towards a four‐day week, which supporters claim increases output and cuts absenteeism. As Mayes notes, ‘it is more costly to lose a quarter of one's pay than a fifth’.
