Bosses overwhelmingly say they are open to the introduction of a four day working week, according to a new survey.
A cross section of business leaders by Survation found 79 per cent would consider the idea as the Covid crisis changes the work pattern for many workers.
It came as another poll found support for a national maximum wage of £100,000 as the Government wrestles with ways to pay for the Covid hit to the economy.
The survey of business owners, chief executives, finance officers and directors showed 47 per cent are “very open” to a shortened working week and 32 per cent “quite open”.
The biggest concern was over increased wage bills if there was no reduction in employees pay.
