Should Ireland transition to a four-day workweek?
Countries including Ireland, Scotland, Japan, and Sweden are experimenting with a four-day workweek, which requires employers to provide overtime pay to employees working more than 32 hours per week.

For some jobs where appropriate yes
@93TSWYR2yrs2Y
Yes, if private companies find it more productive
@93T59BK2yrs2Y
Up to individual business , not something that should be regulated in any form
@93PS7HL2yrs2Y
No, focus on increasing minimum wage and decreasing overtime, in cases where the latter is not possible, increase overtime pay
@8ZP8PFFSocial Democrats2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as working hours and salaries would remain unchanged.
@8Z2BW5SSocial Democrats2yrs2Y
No and keep the current workweek
@8YP2PPF2yrs2Y
@8YLXLQPSocial Democrats2yrs2Y
this needs to be under review we need to be careful this wont come back on us again as this is a policy from the Labor party in the UK
@8Y7975Z2yrs2Y
It should be encouraged, but not obligatory
@9L2W2JQ1mo1MO
A three-day week would be more practical; it would free up people to deal with the many random issues that they would otherwise have to take time off work to deal with.
@9J8P9J63mos3MO
This would be nice but is not a pressing issue for Ireland
@9H76M6G5mos5MO
People should not work unless they want. No capitalism. But this is a step forward
It should be up to a company to decide, and employees can then choose themselves where they want to work
@9F49VTM8mos8MO
No, this should be up to the employer
@8CWNV9J 9mos9MO
No, not if it's mandatory for employees who want to work longer hours.
@98WSZMY1yr1Y
Depends on the industry
@98HP2R91yr1Y
Make it available as a choice for companies and organisations
Yes if the minimum and all subsequent wages were raised to the point people can live comfortably with those times
@97Y8X9R1yr1Y
@94CBSD72yrs2Y
That is a private matter between employers and employees.
@942X28Z2yrs2Y
Companies can if they want
@8Y4Z4CX2yrs2Y
It should be a company led decision not a government one
