Reduced work week trial policy

This RadHR policy template sets out the terms for a time-limited four-day work week trial, running June–December 2025, during which staff work 32 hours Monday–Thursday at 100% salary and with unchanged benefits. It covers schedule details, a 20% pro-rata reduction to annual and wellness leave balances, holiday calendar adjustments, and the limited circumstances under which Friday working may be flexed. The policy includes a structured evaluation framework — staff surveys, supervisor check-ins, and defined success criteria — to inform a permanent decision by November/December 2025. Organisations should note that several provisions (holiday dates, leave types, Summer Fridays) reference the originating organisation's own Personnel Manual and will need adapting for other contexts.
